Title: Whats your next project - Mine is super rare - Has any one ever seen one ?
Post by: jon016847 on September 15, 2005, 11:57 AM: Firstly - Let me give you some history about Justin Roos, - He ranks in the all time ABA District Point Leaders for a Single Year - 20" (1980-1983)

RANK DIST NAME POINTS YEAR DIST#
1. AZ 1 JAYDEE T FINNEY 20841 1983 1
2. AZ 1 JAYDEE T FINNEY 18859 1982 1
3. AZ 1 JUSTIN ROOS 17352 1981 1

Imagine having a frame named after you at that age, he was so young, but there it was -

In 1982 JMC launched the JR mini, (Justin Roos Mini) there were about 54 of them made. The rarest of JMC's based on production numbers.

So that is my next project, I have all the parts, but the frame is being fixedup and re-chromed

This is my holey grail item -I never thought I would get one

Thanks Jim Melton , Thanks Don Moore

Who does your chroming? If you don't mind also what do you look to pay for a f+f to be done.

Thanks

Paul

Post by: jon016847 on September 15, 2005, 01:21 PM: Stidds, got any sneek peek pics of the CW - not familier with that model !

Paul , I send my Chroming to Biagio, i don't really have the time to be sorcing that type of thing direcltly. He does a killer job of restoroing dropouts, and the people he uses do a great chrome job. I have only had one f&f done before and I really can't remember what it cost, I don't want to guess in case i say too much and it puts people of asking him, give him a shout on that one!!

Title: Re: Whats your next project - Mine is super rare - Has any one ever seen one ?
Post by: stidds on September 15, 2005, 01:47 PM: Well the frame/forks and bars are the white with red decals as per the picture so it will be very similar in colour, though I will be having skin wall tyres and white rims with red nipples and hubs, that is all I know at the moment.
