aaah i see, i like the sound of the lead! :LolLolLolLol:

wasnt for the ti frame though dude, i was thinking of this custom s&m,if the matte clear powder doesnt work out i'll definitely have the frame copper plated,
i'm done with the lightweight stuff now thank heavens! :LolLolLolLol:

apparently "oxalic acid" can be used to age alloy and copper stuff pretty good, i'm nervous of trying it though, where tf would you even buy it?

this is the bike that got me thinking, and the one i was banging on about before, check the corrosion around the tanks , thats what i'm after dave ;)

work of art.




here's a nice thing and might be useful for ideas,
check the patina on the chrome and ally parts, i'm going to e-mail and ask russ what he uses to get the effect,
checkout the work on the tank, might be cool to work some thing into the metal of your rat bike frame,
what brakes does it have on it? could you fit a coaster brake for the cleanest look possible?




what i'd like aswell would be a set of human skin race pads, think bufflo bills "suit" in silence of the lambs :LolLolLolLol:

van pic doesnt work btw,

Rombloke:
check out the stand on that chopper.....

yeah i got to say i do not usually like this rat look deal, but that big arse chopper is well good

AWESOME MAN
sorry bout the lack of the van photo.

it is a coaster brake!!

its the perfect bike but things arent going well with acquiring it- think i might have to outllay more than i expected!
