Title: And I said I was 1" forks only!
Post by: SaMAlex on February 22, 2013, 01:09 PM: Ive started a couple of "Over size" projects, even tho I said I was only gunna do 1" bikes.
Im not going to fully build them. Just paint them black, build a frame-forks-headset-stem kit and hang them on the wall.

Better than them being sat in my shed

Post by: SaMAlex on February 22, 2013, 01:39 PM: The warpig is raw, just covered in stickers. The Sabbath has a thin coat of paint so wouldnt take much to get it off.
And having them both Raw would be cheaper than getting them powder coated ...... ???

Gotta be Black tho. There is no other colour 8)

Ive not got any stickers yet. I have some on back order from 4down but I dont think they have them in yet. They might have done and they all went out to shops already. Im not in a hurry.
