    Oh man! Or as they would say back then,"that bike is trick!". I only ever sold one Funk. They were hard to come by and extremely desired. The design had its drawbacks. There was a leverage effect on the chainstays. The frames would crack or break at the seat tube. I have never seen a broken Funk...

    I wanted one of these so bad! I had a mail order biz and ended up selling Alpine Stars. They were a similar elevated chainstay. But they weren't as cool as a FUNK!

    No it actually makes the threads better. The bearing surface is slick. It will ware through eventually. Keep them clean and they'll last your lifetime. Best to get a chromer who knows his stuff.

    These are not a very good representations of the color. The color is Emerald Metallic and it's dark, dark, dark. I'm thinking silver and gray and possibly a third color pinstripes. Fenders will be powdered, rims are chrome. Most likely 3 weeks for chrome which is excellent. Powder is probably 2...
