crome frame

[NugShee]

It cost more to have it chromed then it would to have it gold plated. I used to do gold plating and it isnt very expensive. The initial cost of the plater can run you a few hundred but then the cost of enough solution to do a full bike would be less then $100. I used to do my spare change just for the hell of it. I have several ounces of gold but it is in raw form and has not been leached yet. I used to spend $20 on solution to do a $600 rim job (car rims, get your mind out of the gutter).

I know a guy in medford, Or who has successfully chromed his frame. He told me he spent countless hours re finishing and welding his frame. It has no seams and is flawless. Needless to say the bike is TITS and the fullbore plastic is chromed also. I will try to find a pic, I think I have one somewhere around here. One more word for his bike BADASS!!

 

 

 

I found it isn't it BADASS. Puts my bike to shame. Oh well maybe someday I can spend that kind of money. What do you think CHASE?

thats it , im chroming it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK IT rust or no rust in the corners . THE SHEE will be chromed , stretched , rigid , death !!!! This bike going to 150% stand out from any banshee .

Just find someone to reweld the seams up and finish everything smooth. If there is no place for rust to start why would it. Also before we go to the coast to ride, we go to the local carwash and apply wax to the bikes. Sure helps keep the sand off and maybe save the chrome.

I have sceen it done before when I first joined HQ. It was on their old old old website, not before this one was upgraded, or when we all created our new nicks and acounts, and not the old BHQ before all of our accoutns were reset, but the HQ before that one. Or maybe it was old old BHQ?

 

Guys bike was all chrome except the plastics, frame included wife got it for him for x-mas!

 

Personaly I would much rather send my frame to be powder chromed, that shit is trick and would be cheaper and IMO make more sense for a bike frame...Dunedeamons powder chrome looks bad ass, and I believe it comes in different colors as well. It's hard to tell the difference between his powder chrome and the real thing just by looking at it.
