Another Quad Finished ... at long last !!!
« on: October 18, 2009, 03:01 PM »
I've been after a 4130 Quad for some time and finally managed to buy a frame from 'general lee' ... thanks Steve  :daumenhoch:

The frame was powdered by 'Superbikedan' and the finish is totally amazing  :shocked:  All I had to do was build it and as always I applied loads of old school flavour. So far I'm pleased with the final result though I may get the forks powdered in the near future ... what d'ya reckon  :)

































SPEC

4130 Quadangle with new retro Landing Gear forks - serial # QA90317
SE Racing Crow bars (original condition)
Tuf Neck Pro Model stem (restored)
Tange 125 headset (original condition)
A'me Round grips
Dia Compe MX900 calipers (restored) with DC cables and generic Tech III levers

Skyway Tuff II's (restored)
Panaracer Knarler Knobby 20x1.75 tyres

That's the nicest quad build I've seen  :daumenhoch:

And yes - chrome forks on a painted frame are the way to go. Glad you're gonna keep it that way  :4_17_5:
