(1/5) > >>

oldschoolrb:
iv landed myself a 1983 proclass  the brake bridge and the rear drop outs are the right size , the bb is machined so it is one  8) the bloke i got it off had stripped most of the black chrome of it !! dont ask why ........ some people ........... but it was left on under the head tube decal . the forks are stripped also but have the black chrome still on up to the threads on them

here she is


the drop outs are sweet



i removed the head tube decal



the shine



iv only give it a quick polishing and its come up really nice !! with a bit more of an effort it will look stunning !! this is where the problems start  :-\
1, do i polish up and have it chrome ?
2, or do i get it black chromed / powdered ?
i dont know what to do because its just so nice  :-\
what do you all think i should do ?

cheers ric

gotta be black chrome for me mate. I remember the first time I ever saw one,at a race at Chorley track bitd. There was a lad doing jumps on one between the motos. He was red hot... turned out it was Andy Ruffell ;D

oldschoolrb:
id like to go black chrome its just the chrome is really !! but if i think it was black from the start im only putting it back to the way its ment  to be  :-\

matt:
leave it chrome for me, the powder is ok but it aint black chrome is it.  the factory team usually rode chrome frames.  georges frame set by the way  :smitten:

Ric, leave that bee mate, it's a stunner :shocked:

The black chrome finish is not very tough and will never look as good as that chrome bud........ :smitten:
