Chrome all the way Danny.

DoubleD · « **Reply #8 on:** February 04, 2012, 05:52 PM »

yeah i always wanted a chrome one after seeing to many white builds ( i love those 2 )
But chrome has something magic in my opinion

well dinner is done having some coffee now and watching redbull crashed ice so hold one please

First thing i have figured out are the black tuff 2 alloy hubbed wheels
trying to figure out if i am going to use a nos takagi 180 opc or a 3 piece tourney crankset

tough decisions to make

Polish is warmed up: So gonna use some elbow grease to look how it is underneath all the filth from several years of use

RESULT

Glad you got one Danny

, about time

Tourney or OPC

definately the OPC

Are you going down the race route or trick ride route with this ?

I do like white and chrome T/A's

but a nice Chrome one just takes it and has got to be rarer

DoubleD · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2012, 02:06 PM »

No its staying a racer mate

some spots are lovely and other spots are just dull

got to decide to rechrome it or let it stay this way with the og chrome
both options has some advantages, But i like it to be og in some sort of way and rechrome will be just awseome.

I dont know yet

Also gotta look for correct decals for a crome frame and fork

They can look well if you go down the 2 colour components route

but I 'd leave built without padset so it doesn't look too busy $:-\$

then your eyes are on the sleek frame instead

fine as long as everything is red/white/blue and chrome or silver to me !
