That would look awesome in White Powder. Did they come in white? I suspect you will want to keep to original given the connection with your friend though...
I love a white powder...

Firstly welcome back :daumenhoch: please stick around ;) this place used to be full of threads like this we all love a good bmx story :) especially survivors are great! we'd all love to find a bike like this and as the others have mentioned a sympathetic restore would be awesome on this and a build thread would be great to follow on here :4_17_5: :daumenhoch:

Cheers guys,
I had loads of stuff rechromed years ago on my Gen 1 and GT I have. It was about ?350 to do frame , forks, bars etc. Saw a thread on FB that would be about double that now at the place I went.
I was thinking the rebuild would be a mixture of some rechroming and the old stuff back on . Not ideal really as it's a bit of a mis match . Shame that it's so bad. It was left in a garage with a leaky roof and the rain constantly falling on it for 20 years.
I need to get some 24 inch skinwalls . I see Porkchop does them but I'd like some from the UK if possible. Going to be riding this bike I think.

I had a horrible feeling you were going to say that, that's what made me think about powder coating white. Some will hate it but 700 quid for a re-chrome?? Wow. Do the f/f, bars & post white, chrome the flights of course, plenty of change for all your rubbers and whatnots.....
Of course it's your bike mate, and a tribute to your mate, so do what you want, but I would have way more fun with that 'left over lolly' when I got home from the powdercoater's....past the plater's.......
