I have a few projects to work on but need some help on which one I should do next.

The OWL - Basman regular chopper style using a 3G springer fork

E- Boardtracker - Basman Sport frame made into an electric bike

Purple Hoop - 26 Quad angle BMX with a good combo of new and vintage parts is the Winner

I think the one I really want to ride is purple hoops. I have all the parts for that one,just have to get frame powder coated and some aluminum anodized
 
I have officially started purple hoops, Frame went off to powder on Friday. What got this one gong is I may have found a new powder coater that charges about half of what my first guy did so figured I would give him a try with this build.

Finished taking the frame apart and its been dropped off.

Some parts got dropped off for anodizing this morning. I had the wheels polished before so they would have a nice glossy look hope it turns out as I expect.

I've always loved these frames, especially in the 26" flavor.... but one question: I thought you were the powder-coater?!


Its probably best that I do not have the ability to powder coat at home, that tends to be what holds up my projects because the powder coater I use is not cheap.

The guy that did this frame took 3.5 months but it was less than half of what my normal guy charges and the quality was not as good.

But truth be said you get what you pay for. I have another frame at my normal guy I should get back mid January that I know will be top notch.
