paited the frame and fork w/ a bumber coating, looks great and i didnt have to clear! take a good long look at this, this is the fastest you'll ever go on a bicycle, no peddles of course! it still needs brakes, and the knee pegs and barbells that should be bolted to that long peice of threaded rod through the bottom bracket arent mounted yet. i didnt paint the front or rear dropouts cuz that paint always gets messed up. this frame was originally black chrome but the finish was too messed up to keep. these pix dont do the paintjob justice, that bumper coating paint is friggin awesome!
