My TA stripped down (original chrome) - what do you think?
« on: February 08, 2009, 04:03 PM »
So, its stripped down to bare frame and forks and headset (nice Tange 320 and lock nut), and think it looks pretty good considering, much nicer than the picture I had in my head. 

If this was yours would you be happy to build it, or would you consider a rechrome or powder?  I do prefer white ones, but original chrome is always a winner...  Inside the forks are the worst area.

Its an early curved bridge Jap made model.  Serial is K 01344.











Ive polished and polished the BB but this the best I can get it.



This is the worse bit...

Keep the original chrome as it still pretty good and i love survivor bikes, build it up and ride it! thats what these bikes were intended on doing, not being restored then just bought to look at.  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

WHS^^^

I'd leave it as it is, the worst area inside the forks would be hidden by brake and wheel... build it... ride it...  :daumenhoch:

If it were re-chromed it would be to minty to ride

Survivor bikes rock...  :)

Cheers, how much would it cost to strip and rechrome just the forks?  Im getting round to liking the chrome rather than a white one to be honest.

Do you live in Chesh, Pete?

Listen to Pete on that one :daumenhoch:. I reckon its a good idea just getting the forks chromed Danny, i know this might be silly but that you tried the coke and tin foil trick on that BB area?? ??? ???

The TA will be my last bike for a while, cant afford to spend any more on BMX for a good while.  Just picked this up (cheers Arnaud - just as nice as in the pics) for the TA, tis a lovely looking seat.

Yeah, its padded, its a beautiful seat.  Building up the parts for it, just need a blue stem, blue MX1000 and some black Comp III's, then im ready to go.

Nice Danny, but i really do think you should get yourself a race ready, track thraser of a Race bike and get some learning in!... You wont regret it when you start winning finals and becoming a pretty good racer :daumenhoch:

OS padded kashimax aero.  Its not as chunky as that new one.  The photo doesnt do it any favours, its mint in the flesh..
