Chrome Don't Get Ya Home...

[Unchained]

...But I can't help myself!

I built this guy a while ago. I wanted a new bike, because sometimes my old ones are all broken, and that gets to be an issue when I want to actually ride...

So I built this. It's all pretty cheap stuff, but goes alright and it is always ready. And I have always secretly wanted an all chrome bike. So why not do a cruiser with BMX touches?

Some Info.

-steel cantilever frame
-1" threaded headset
-steel bmx tubular fork
-steel braced bar
-steel braced layback seat post
-bulletproof seat
-.105 gauge HD coaster brake wheelset (steel rims)
-chro-mo 1pc crank
-44 (?) tooth 4 hole sprocket
-KMC chrome chain
-generic bow pedals
-Hunt Wilde torpedo grips
-Kenda 26x1.5 slick tires

I'd like to know what you guys think about it.

Thanks for the compliments... I kinda of like it without a light at the moment but I'm considering it.

That's an interesting idea. For the moment, I like how the black grips balance out the seat and tires.

It's a Histop, and yes, surprisingly, the hub is holding up real well.

Sorry about the brain fart, you are right.
