Old School BMX 1980 - 1988 > Old School Freestyle (frame stands and kickturns galore!)
Skyway Streetbeat '85 - Newbie. BUILD THREAD.
Smidsy:
I had a nightmare experience with a powder coater. Too a Ducati frame in for stripping and powder with explicit instructions to protect the fame number.
Guess what...frame number virtually destroyed...big battle...final result, no payment and a frame with a number that i barely readable.
factory pilot:
A great project ... love that seat and those pedals!
When it comes to powder coating it pays to get the best to do the work sadly. SBD ( Dan Purcell ) Super Bike Dan is the only RAD approved guy... he would have sorted the ding before painting sadly.
I can’t wait to see how this develops... hopeful the head tube badge will cover that ding for you?
Grey/Pink is an awesome combination :4_17_5:

I wouldnt worry about it tbh, if its on the underside, then its a lil bit of hidden history, may have been done before the bike was even built.
Manu:
What About this beat development? ::)
Annabella:
So the update isn't all that interesting but here we go... so after the disaster with the dent in the bike from the last shop, took it to SBD who did a repair job (pictured) and then painted it. I have bars that came in grey and I was wanting the paint to match the bars... so he did that (pictures) and wasn't very happy with the results, so it got repainted!
Final couple of pictures show the bike as it is finished. It looks perfect to me and I'm very happy with it. I have OG decals to put on it next!
THEN....I'll take some more pictures of my parts and post those and start the build.
