Thats mad :coolsmiley:
What parts are you planning,
Would like to see one with graphite tuffs, or graphite z's with gold hutch hubs :coolsmiley:
-
Wow!! I have seen these in here before but they do look pretty sexy..
Is it real gold used for the plating?
Dare we ask how much it cost? Did you get it imported from that fella in the US??
Looking forward to this build..
Paul

didn't you already post this last year, or was that a different bike?
-
the finish looks stunning, i'm all for replica bikes from bitd....
-
If you are doing another one it needs to be an exact replica of Woody's .. i don't really see the point otherwise. looks like thats what you may want to do judging by the decals but you need the suntour roller cam mounts on the forks which i'm guessing aint going to happen now you have it plated?
Still haven't seen anyone get it 100% right .. good luck

very nice :smitten: if you are doing a woody rep good luck finding the rear hub :shocked:
-
Gold plated bikes are not really my thing but can appreciate the quality of the finish etc, for me there will always only be 1 gold bike and that's Woody's plus he rode it. Good luck with the build though fella :daumenhoch:
-
too much excess. not a new concept either! hutch dosnt need to be gold plated! now a gold plated gt ! that would be cool! :LolLolLolLol:
glen would do a double backflip on your trickstar and bring it back snapped! :LolLolLolLol:

gold plated townsend ???

hi
where did you get the stickers from as after a set and cool frame sets :)
-
i like it,got no reason not to,seen some proper ugly painted efforts
very bling and itll stand out against anything.
i have a build her that i have to get gold plated ,just a handfull of parts,a restoration of a build given as a thankyou
to a rider which they had some bits gold plated but finding someone over here is gonna be tough.
-
looks good to me mate 8)
now lets see them built up :daumenhoch:
-
Thanks guys for you positive feedback? Good old UK, so much hate.
Unfortunately to do a exact woody replica would cost a bit too much for me, that's why I have done my version. Yes there can only be one gold Trick Star like his, but that will never be for sale.
As you are not gold fans I suppose you will not be interested in my other gold plated Trick Star and pedals I'm selling..

the uk ?? hmm. read many youtube comments that are US based ?
see some pretty raw shit on the museum to !! ::)
-
If we all liked the same stuff would be one boring place, lovely looking bikes chap :daumenhoch:
Btw my mum said if you have nothing nice to say keep ya fat mouth shut...I don't often say alot
-
This is a complete new bike/build.
ahh so it is - remember the black and gold ones you had in a previous thread
mate do what you like - not everyone will like them (and maybe not something you can take to the skate park ;D) but if you do then that's what counts
I heard of one guy who painted one of those bright orange and put disc brakes on another - he is mental though ;)
-
If it was me doing a Gold Plated Trickstar then I would go all out and do it it a spot on replica but having said that, everyone should build a bike exactly how THEY want it.
Good luck mate

I would melt it down and make a spoon.

I think it looks pretty fly, good luck with the build!
-
That would go down well in waltham cross (Chav central) :D
If you like it mate that's all that matters at the end of the day, good luck with the build :daumenhoch:
-
Me... I like them
I wouldn't mind a F&F set like that hanging on my wall :daumenhoch:
-
That finish is flawless. Gold isn't eveyones cup of tea, nor is Hutch - but I think they look fooking awesome.
Great pictures too Max, looking forward to your build thread :daumenhoch:

just like any girl who didn't want to go out with me BITD was obviously a lesbian

not sure a difference of opinion constitutes hate, but each to their own.
i think they are cool as f*ck.
the finish looks flawless, and credit to you for getting them done.

With the price of Gold so high at the moment have you considered cashing it in?
I can just see that in the window of Harry Ramsdens :D
-

-
Thanks for sharing those excellent photos. Not my thing at all but if you like it that's all that counts :daumenhoch:

Be nice to have one of them in 'The' loft :daumenhoch:

-
I can appreciate the work that's gone into it, but it's not my cuppa tea :-\
-
Fookin aceballs, I'd love to rock up to a Rad do on that.
If I won the Lotto or developed severe mental problems I'd deffo do one of those.
That or a gold plated Piranha
-
That looks lovely. Nice attention to detail and you can see no expense has been spared. Definitely a lovely example. :daumenhoch:
-
taking bling to the next level,love it!i'm jealous and i admit it! :daumenhoch:
-
That is fooking ace :4_17_5:
Pictures are awesome too. Great stuff mate, thanks for sharing :daumenhoch:
-
That is seriously bling!! Awesome!! Well done :)
-
Not my cup o'tea but each to their own and obviously hell of a lot of hard work gone in to it, so hats of to ya fella!! :daumenhoch:
Btw my mum said if you have nothing nice to say keep ya fat mouth shut...I don't often say alot
Never forget this Pete, ya Mum was right!!! :LolLolLolLol:
-
I think this would be cool with a mix of Gold & Chrome parts :coolsmiley: :daumenhoch:
-
Looks fantastic mate, good job there :daumenhoch:
-
Looks stunning Max, well done and thanks for sharing. :daumenhoch:
-
Love the Gold plate, stunning job.

-
Wow, very nice, :4_17_5:
-
Awesome :4_17_5:
If you fancy a trade Ive got a couple of survivor burners.....apparently there gonna go big over the pond ....get in quick Max :daumenhoch:
-
Dude they are awesome mate !! There's a time and a place for everything. I love a fully restored Mark 1 Burner as much as the next guy but what do they say..... why eat hamburgers when you can have steak ! :smitten:
It is what it is....C'mon people cut the guy some slack!
What's right is right ! :2gunsfiring_v1:
-
Hi
Nice work, but please get some freestyle cages (that will make a big difference).
J.
-
I like these a lot, not something that I would do, but think they look great, well done, great build :daumenhoch:
Who did the Gold plating ???
-
That is Stunning Max I love it . Well done dude and thanks for sharing . Pics are fookin awesome too.
-
:smitten: :smitten:
-
I think that is cool as FOOK to be honest.. Are you the same chap with the limited edition trickstar 2?
Good build my freind
-
Not a fan of gold or Trick Stars but that has definitely changed my mind. :4_17_5:
You have to tighten that chain up though, tis a shame to see it like that.
-
Yes, I know the chain is slack..
why don't you fix it up then? surely tightening the chain is easier and cheaper than going to the gold platers...
