Hi bud

Welcome to the site  :daumenhoch:

Re-Chrome on F&F + Bars will run you about £250 +  :shocked:

Its bloomin expensive  :idiot2:

Thought that might be the case :(

Might have a word with my painter mate about high gloss silver painted finish, obviously not original spec but still look good if everything else is put back to original spec??

koolstyler:
Quick update, bike is now stripped and has gone for paint today (Pearl White)! When i collected the bike realised it needs a few more parts than i first thought ::). New CW type bars, whitewall tires, mx brakes, headset, bottom bracket, grips, decals and dice caps have now all arrived (budget well and truly blown!!!). There are still a few bit that could do with changing if he wants it to be a queen but it will make a nice rider as is when its back together. Nice touch that id forgot is that when my bro painted it the rear triangle chrome was still very good so he left that unpainted (Haro style?),well its still good so ive left it too,
Should look really nice when finished, ill get some before and after pics up as soon as its back and assembled  :)

Deano:
What a great thing to do for your bro  :daumenhoch:

Be nice to see this progress  8)

Oh and welcome in too bud

Busy couple of days!....and its finished (well nearly just need new chain putting on). Would post pics but just in case my brother pops on here i wont post pics of it yet, its looks awesome im very jealous 8)
Only slight downside is now its together i have noticed there is some play in the wheel hubs, think they just need new bearings its rideable though so ill leave them as a little job for him when i give it back (cant spend any more money on it now!!)

PS, how do i post pics????
