I don't quite get it, why is this stem so expensive? I mean apart from being rare and such, I can't quite call it a beaut. No offense.

This might shed some light onto the reason......... I made an inquiry from his website and...........

And then you die and it all gets sold dirt cheap at an estate sale...the end.

Talking about being a...

You sure it's Cook Brothers not "some other similar sounding word" brothers?

Still think your build is better - every time I see the name it reminds me of Breaking Bad

Time to start matching parts, drive train. Parts from last years build, some new finds and some from the secret stash. Sugino time.

A crank arm from here, a spider from there and a touch of chainring.

After having installed and worked on so many varieties of bottom bracket and cranks over the years: square taper, GXP, octalink, ISIS, splined, BB30, Hollowtech II, cottered, to name a few; there is nothing more simply functional and admirable than the one-piece Ashtabula crank and American sized BB combo. The durability, service ability, and customize-able qualities are unmatched!

Dig your recipe for your own 'custom' crank set, BOC! RaT oN~!

Got some actual work in today on the bike. A little grinder action.

Brake tabs and the painted Husky branding, gone.

I fear that stem may be fashioned from unobtainium...
But I hope you can find one.

Clever word play!

I am no longer a Cook Bros fan. I know you'll build a better bike.

Cool build plan, I wanna see this one happen. Youd be better off making one of those stems. Do all the "chrome" parts in bright silver powdercoat so it all matches.

I’m trying to “muster” up some ideas on where this paint job will be headed. Black over white over red over black kinda’ sandwich. But, with the grinder out it’s off with your head, or just crappy seatpost clamp.

Looks great! Especially in the areas you can see the black underlay

 

[thebigorangecat]

And that one was in bad shape, drilled out for something or another - they have hit near $2K in the past!

This one squeezed in just under $1,000... even with shipping.

BARGAIN!

Just laying down the color. Going to make my patina black over cream over espresso, not the completely overdone light blue over brown. Sneak coming later.

..."not the completely overdone light blue over brown". Huh. Intentional? And if so, to what end?

 

[SpikeFC]

@OddJob, and we were just talking about light blue. I think it's "the hit" in this year's bike scene

 

[thebigorangecat]

This is the patina scene that’s just everywhere.
