what to do ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

monkian:
Personally, I think there's something to be said about restoring to the original colour (if needed) 8)
Love the skin you're (bikes) in ;)

stidds:
Restore it and anodise it as per the original colour, don't polish it.

sid1972:
you have got to sort that weld out surely - then red, red, red - gold bars and gold 3 peice crank and wheels..

like norty40 -  :wtf: do I know.  :D

nice bike either way!  ;)

daz bmx it!:
weigh it in :daumenhoch: scrap metal prices have never been so high! :coolsmiley:

Bigplinky:
The forks are original paint and perfect so I would get the frame annodised blue to match them (I think they did do a painted option as well though I would look into it a bit more)

The one thing I wouldn't do is ride it as that is the 2nd weld repair in that area (the first one only lasted a day or so and the 2nd was made much bigger) and it will be weak as fook even worse if it's ground back (but for a show bike only I would grind it back)

Got that frame for Christmas in 1982 and raced it for the first half of 1983. My sister raced it till early 84 when it cracked for the first time. It was rewelded in 1986 at Wearside College in Sunderland and I think raced once then cracked again (again rewelded). It had one outing in the 90's river jumping just north of Newcastle.
