-

Soon as I get some cash from my cali on ebay,
Im quite happy to be in a UK Street Beat Build off.
Anyone up for it?
Dont know whether to get a raw frame or import a pre-powdered frame from US?
Is there any type of laquer that you can spray ontop of a painted frame to make it hard, instead of powder coating?
Chris ;)
-
yep, im in.
did one for MK but got a few more ideas floating around in my head.
-
I've got a couple of raw 'Beat frames I am about to send off to Dan for coating. I want to use the parts I already have on them though so getting them in any other colour than white/red or white/green would be awkward. I could do a black/red one maybe. Damn, i've got too many ideas now. :2funny:
Admittedly, Dan only has the Skyway Green RAL code and i'm considering getting the other one chromed if I can find a chromer in Sussex somewhere.
Hmmn, I could just get another raw 'Beat frame instead... :2funny:

Chris ;)
yes, you would need 2pac clear laquer and hardener, which is what car sprayers use over metalics, sets rock hard ;)
-
How much are the raw ones from Rudewheels and what is the top tube length on them?
:) DINGO :)
-
Rudewheels raw £65 delivered.
Think Ginnys is £52 delivered but from US and you could get Import duties :'(
Ive just ordered a Orange Beat from Ginnys.
Cant really afford the rest of the bike yet. But watch out for my posts in the wanted threads.... :shocked:

She's normally very good at getting them through customs without duty.....i just got a set of new Tuffs through her and i never paid a penny in duty or handling......she marks them as a gift and the value under £30. it could be a bit hit and miss though??

Yeah, it is a bit hit and miss. Everything i've ordered from Ginny so far has been hit by import duty. :-\
In fact, everything i've ever ordered from the US has been hit by import duty. Whether from AJK, Coloredtuffs or Ginny.
I hope you do better though. :daumenhoch:

could be down to size? i'm guessing that if a fook off box comes through marked as a gift and under £30 they may think it's a bit iffy?? maybe on smaller items it's better?
-
me too, always get hit by import duty, but my bro now lives over in south carolina, so im hoping things will get through in the future, but i do know that they keep note of the address items are going to, so maybe use a friends address?
