victorian bmx?

(1/4) > >>

darkersomeday:
any idea's for a victorian bmx?

colours? parts?

Dingobmxer:
:wtf: is a victorian bmx joe?

 :) DINGO :)

darkersomeday:
i've got an electro plater organized to do a frame for me in copper plate,

i've been doing some research into how to patina the finish nicely,

dunno what to do with the bars/forks though, get them plated or do them in another colour, maybe dark green or black with gold pinstriping?

i'd go with a euro frame and use a proper period olf crankset and rubber bar pedals but i'd like it to stay rideable,

i need some idea's!

rod brakes? hopw do i get some brass into the fray? wood too?

Dingobmxer:
wood?

use fablon (wood effect like you used to use to cover school exercise books) and a hairdryer to get the creases out

you would need those leather brake blocks that came on rod brakes too, and cotterpin cranks

 :) DINGO :)

Moose:
Mosh did some wood effect stems and hubs I think, but you might have a job finding them.

Riveted brass motifs on the head-tube and down-tube instead of decals would be the best bet.........





...I still reckon it'll look poo though  :LolLolLolLol:
