1981 King Sting 5 -SOLD-

[chattymatty]

1981 King Sting 5. 100% OG paint and decals- plenty of patina, but the decals are nice and dark with no fading, just some checking with age. Had a water bottle cage, plenty of chain slap, chips where the kick stand was mounted, bla bla bla . Just a nice used frame for your starting point that's prolly just a little too nice to strip and refinish- they're only original once after all. Included is the euro BB conversion and formerly NOS (now has about ~50 miles on it) Kajita sealed cartridge BB (basically an era Phil Wood copy).

$290 Domestic shipping included, INTL pays actual.

Hey Matt...what's the story on the rest of the parts? Handlebars and crank primarily.

The bars I'm keeping for a special order 24" Predator I've got and the rest of the parts are going on that Nikasa/Laguna wannabe three bar frame. Picked up a 21" King Sting just before Christmas and it just fits me better even if it does look more like an MTB than BMX sexy. Eventually they'll find their way onto a SS King, but that's several projects down the road.

Oh, and it sold

Glad it sold!

That's all cool. 21" fits me better, too, but the 18" has that proper stance. . . just looks so mean
