The chrome would clean up fine on it TBH, the forks that came with it did...

Anyhoo, it's here if anyone fancies a little build.

I had a Screamer, very good frame and still going strong with another owner. No complaints whatsoever, other than it not being very lightweight. Only reason I got rid of it was to thin down the herd.

ahh you killing me lol. is that 2 copies you have??

Dave, what you have there is the Heavy Tools Screamer frame. Screamers came with a platform, the Ruler did not. However they also did a Heavy Tools complete bike, that had a frame like the Screamer but wasnt full cromo - so ther is always the poss that yours is the cheaper complete bike frame - cant remember what it was called, in fact I think it may not have even had a name - just was the Heavy Tools complete -
good old standard copies!

Looking at the graphic on the seattube, I'd go with Screamer. Think mine had one similar.
I'll pass, enough unused spare frames already.
