Now I'm thinking about stripping it back to raw and having it re-chromed

Post by: Discostu on September 17, 2011, 01:35 PM: Shoot me down if I'm wrong here. But I think it looked the best in it's first incarnation. I think we should put it to a rad vote! I wouldn't bother getting it chromed as chroming is such a hit and miss thing getting a good chrome finish. Anyway what do I know! :daumenhoch:

Post by: dordymush on September 17, 2011, 04:08 PM: im liking the stripped version better than all the colours.
white frame with the chrome bits on it would look cool.

Post by: Daletsunami on September 17, 2011, 05:04 PM: Think I agree with the chrome rims etc and trying the plain and simple look 8) 8)

Although part of me wants to see it chrome :smitten: :smitten:

Post by: AKGOFF on September 17, 2011, 05:51 PM: 1st incarnation looks sweet as, I love it but I think it would look best...................in my collection, sell it to me ;D

A frameset as cool as that is gonna look great whatever you do with it I think though.

Cheers Dave

I hear but I'm not listerning. I didn't like the first one that much, hence I changed it.

and I was only ever ok with the second one... but it still didn't seem quite right.

But I've got some great plans in the pot for the 3rd version and I think when its all done you'll all see a better build :daumenhoch:

Title: Re: 3rd time lucky - Profile 24 Cruiser Reincarnation
Post by: ukoldschool on September 27, 2011, 04:24 PM: I agree with stripping all the gold off Dan, gold is nasty... it reminds me of aero burners... SHUDDER...... I like the white frame but I cant help thinking it would look nicer chrome

I must give props to Martinbike for the inspiration on this one, hope you all like:
