I mentioned this street beat bike build off to someone the other day.....did it ever happen?

I've not seen a streetbeat chromed but I remember Dave Vanderspeck had the Streetbeat prototype in Chrome with T/A style stickers, red tuffs and blue and red components when he did the UK Curb Dogs tour. It's in BMX Action Bike 10/84. If you want to see I'll get some scans done.

There was a Chrome Streetbeat for sale on usbay a few months ago, it was a Nos one chromed by Skyway, I was going to bid on it, but I had just won a Nos 85 Performer & the streetbeat had no forks.

DCBMX was the seller & it never reached its reserve, so he may still have it.

I got mine copper plated, but I have never fully built it up.

Trev · « **Reply #10 on:** October 17, 2006, 10:31 PM »

gmac, how much did it cost to get that copper plated? looks cool.

gmac · « **Reply #11 on:** October 17, 2006, 10:40 PM »

About £150.

I don't reckon It's ever gonna get built, so I'll probably just stick on the bay anyway.

Taipan · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2012, 03:14 PM »

I wanted to get my mini Torker Copper plated but I couldn't find anywhere that could guarantee that it would come out perfect and would stay that way without tarnishing.

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #18 on:** March 13, 2012, 04:27 PM »

Here's some funky street beats taken from the VBMX.com street beat shootout from around the time this thread was originally posted.

mmm chrome Tuffs

And Dave Vanderspek's chrome one from www.mauricemeyer.net (check this site out if you ain't already)

ED209 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 13, 2012, 05:55 PM »

Discostu · « **Reply #21 on:** March 13, 2012, 06:02 PM »

The red doesn't actually look real? I know it is, it just doesn't, it looks like it was done on a computer.
