Anyone making progress on their builds or finish up? Mine won't be back from chrome until at least July 15th so I figure the build won't be done until the 20th at the earliest.

Are these stickers or aluminum? TIA

Wildcat, Can you post the photo again? When I click on the attachment it's not there. I'd love to see it. I'm loosely connected to the Philippines via my wife and daughters, though I haven't been back there in nearly a decade. Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking about using a prismatic/prism sticker as a headbadge, I just can't decide which one yet.

I found the Mongoose on eBay. Not 100% sure I'm gonna use it.

Since the build is idle until the frame is chromed, I'll post some pics of recent treasure that will go on this bike. I can't decide on which stem. If I use the Huffy, I'll have it repainted and may anodize the clamps. Give me your thoughts.

That dwarf (my wife's 4'8") on the left in my avatar keeps a tight grip on the cash and cards with her tiny iron fist. And she's mean too.:grin:

Wow, another cool frame for a good price. It's a good thing I plan to win the Mega Millions tonight.:grin:

Sweet frame. Too bad I'm building a 26" BMX cruiser. If I bought this too my wife would do very bad things to me and bury my corpse in the backyard.

Pacific Plating. They've got solid reviews. I called them back this morning to confirm the price of plating the frame. I was told if it's in good shape it could be $80. $100 if it needs some work. An additional $40 if I want my handlebars done too...

So these guys who use the "Future Chrome" product want $500 - $600 to a frame and handlebars! I called a place in San Diego that still has real chrome done across the border and they quoted $100 for the frame.

I just procured these. You get 14% off by signing up for their emails. http://americancycle.com/product/se-bikes-landing-gear-1-threaded-fork-20-24-or-26-pro-sizes-available-20510.htm

I used them recently after buying a Bontrager Privateer in Denver and having it shipped to me here in Phoenix. Very reasonable. This looptail frame has to go to San Diego to be chromed. There is a guy in my office who goes there every weekend since his wife and kid are there. I don't know him...

I finally found a highly recommended place to chrome plate my frame that I can afford. I didn't realize how outrageous it is to have something chromed.

BTW, the dropouts on these frames are massive. One of the guys who bought one is planning to put 29" wheels on his.

Okay, so all my parts have been acquired: Black Redline Device cranks Anodized red Bear Trap pedals Older anodized red Profile 46t chainring Anodized red Sturmey Archer kickback hub w/matching front hub Black MTX33 rims, black spokes, anodized red nipples Red & black mushroom grips (though I...

I have some old skool cromo forks too. I'm not sure who made them. BTW, 36 years of surface rust is gone from my frame. Some vinegar and steel mesh did the trick. I think these things were teal at one time. Now it's just straight raw metal. Does anyone know if you can mount a double railed...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Mine is soaking in vinegar right now. I wanted to make sure the inside of the tubes were treated too. I still haven't decided for certain between chrome or gloss black. There's a big difference in price but I'm hoping to do the chrome. Gonna shave the chain guard...

Does anyone have an anodized red one that will work?
