Title: Scorpion Brakedancer,WITH TWIN BRAKE SET-UP (sale)
Post by: Deano on July 22, 2009, 02:08 AM: Well i seen one of these and thought id like one some day ::)
About a week later got offered one so had to say yes.
Prob have to sell something else soon now ;D
Well it started off white (emulsion) over white powdercoat. After 3 hours of nitromors and a wire brush i took it to get some colour to the local powdercoaters.
3hours later picked it up and now looks like this for now:

Post by: thecrooch on July 22, 2009, 05:26 PM: show me a lay back that looks good.

If you are building a show bike they shouldnt even enter your mind... but then if its all thats lying around.....

now take it off - take it out side and throw it under the nearest moving lorry you can find.

Title: Re: started another and i swore id stop LOL

Hootski's gonna get me to drop the NOS unpainted Kuwwie down to you and for this kind of silly money I'll bring my '87 Haro Sport as it's been hand sprayed and the bars are the wrong colour :LolLolLolLol:

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/aa149/Spen69/IMG_1275.jpg)

Everything on both bikes needs re-doing in the same colour, ie all white. Have I got to strip it or do they blast it first?

PM me fella and I'll get down to Notts in the next week or two and try this lad out :daumenhoch:

Spen
Title: Re: started another and i swore id stop LOL
Post by: Deano on July 23, 2009, 10:08 PM: Yes Spen it will need stripped down first and its in Northampton by my mates. So i can run it down to him and have it done all white for you no worries :daumenhoch:

Thanks Sid1972 :daumenhoch: Its a heavy frame set, prob all the bars involved lol
Building it to thrash about so should cope just fine 8)

Mileyboy, thanks for the kind words matey. Its just powdercoat and then polished with high gloss (wet mirror finish) car polish :coolsmiley:

Deano , that looks chuffin awesome mate , you certainly know how to do an original colourscheme , orange and black works well !!

decals look superb , how much was the powder job??
Title: Re: Scorpion Brakedancer, done on a budget!
Post by: Deano on September 14, 2009, 12:39 AM: Dave3172, thanks for the boost on the colour scheme mate. I was thinking about adding some yellow to it so the decals fit in more. Maybe just use yellow dust caps 8)

Powder coating cost me £10 for forks/frame, bars and seat post (that never fit). They even did it twice as some grease ran out of the head tube and mixed with the wet powder lol

Got a set of alloys done in gloss black at same time for £40 also. Bargain coaters and top job :daumenhoch:

So i have been searching for a plate for this build as i am a race plate fan :grin:

Got this from USA and when it arrived it look filthy so i cleaned it up and added it.

The only thing is im not sure if its a moto-x plate as it looked massive when i first put it on :? Now its been on a day its growing on me :smile:

I have some decals to match the pad im putting on when my other brakes arrive.

What does everyone think about the Uni Crossfire plate?
Title: Re: Scorpion Brakedancer, done on a budget!

Post by: Deano on May 06, 2010, 07:30 PM: LOL Jof- Im scared to use them atm as ill remove the ACS writing before MK :2funny: ceramics or nobblies needed ;)

Magna, Bobafett and Monkian- Cheers for being so kind and showing and interest :coolsmiley: I really think this system is quality and wrothy to put on an expert freestyle bmx, even if its for show or use :)

The bottom caliper should be on inside-out so the cable can run across the other side of the frame. Iv also got a picture of a rider with a front and rear from the double cable/1 lever :shocked:

Ron even asked if i wanted the design changed to be more pleasing on the eye :LolLolLolLol: clever man is our Ronnie. All done by :smiley6600: :smitten: :4_17_5:

:Great_Britain: engineering genius

Title: Re: Scorpion Brakedancer, done on a budget!
Post by: Deano on May 07, 2010, 12:50 AM: Im pleased there is some of you folks that like it, as i know they wernt a very popular bmx bitd. Something a bit funky and unusual normally takes my interest.

Brettypeeps-One caught my eye and i had to do a deal. Mostly made up from parts that id had from change of mind on other builds.

Pickle-You sound like you have taste like myself LOL

Aerostylie-You are more than welcome to park your bike alongside mine as yours is sweet , and the 1st finished one id ever seen.

Sid- cheers for that mucka, i built it to go on my Beetle roofrack but now im scared to tie it up and for it to fall off hahah

Post by: Deano on May 09, 2010, 11:08 AM: :2funny: Ron your about 2 days faster than me in fitting brakes :-[
Title: Re: Scorpion Brakedancer, done on a budget!
Post by: ronster on May 19, 2010, 03:23 PM: Right chaps, sorry for dragging this thread up AGAIN :-[...just wanted to show the people who have expressed an interest in the " 2 RON RON " brake device (name copyright MONKIAN :knuppel2:).
This is the begginnings of the new MK2 version...the reason for this is its an all in one machined part...this saves me the hassles of trying to source loads of the DC ferrules to supply with the kits and it ultimately makes for a stronger part too...I think it also looks a nicer more professional part too ???...it will still fit the same as the one Deano has...I will be sending hima MK2 version to replace the prototype that he currently has fitted.
Im hoping to have these all ready to go next week to all that asked me about them,I have made 10 sets so will be a couple of them floating around if anyone else wants one?.
Sorry for the turd photo but its not easy to take a pic of it >:(
