I'm looking forward to doing another resto- its been modern stuff and new frames only so far this year. Plan is to refurb as much as possible and get a few things re-chromed. Tyres are junk and I'm thinking about those blue Compe III replicas that Porkchops BMX in the states are selling. Saddle? I'm thinking that a nice black Brooks would suit it. Maybe add some blue cables and the NOS blue Preston Petty grips that i have in my spares cupboard?? Guess i will wait and see what its like when it lands.
I did read through Bendy's chrome resto tips. Quite good. I do however have some pretty cool trade only products that will whip it into shape in no time.
Strange really- i always disliked chrome bikes, now i have one, another on the way, one in the loft awaiting resto, one about to be built and the klunker has lots of chrome on its latest build. Funny how one's tastes evolve over time isn't it.
