Title: StreetBeat 85
Post by: Manu on March 31, 2019, 06:33 PM

Hi y'all.

Here's a Streetbeat that has suffered a lot.

[attachment=1]

As you can see it's in pretty good shape but some guy just sew the down steering tube(1 cm maybe more) years ago so I had to do something rad to bring it back its dignity...
Found a 25cd4s steel tube(french 4130 Cr-Mo)and a mate which knew how to weld it with TIG.

Now that the steering tube is 120mm long again let's paint it with bright green epoxy powder...


Now some parts and it will soon be over.

Great job! It looks fantastic - very well done. Looks like good cd collection too. Lots of reggae/dub by the looks of it. Island records seem to feature heavily  :daumenhoch:
