OH MY GOD

damn that really sucks that happened to you , but hey. look in the bright side. you got yourself a trick bike with enough clearance for barspins

i used to think my sparton

i used to think my sparton had some cred til i found out they can't stop a car entering a garage.

Cred for sure

You still do. It did stop the car from going in the garage. The sound alone stopped my heart for like a good two or three beats. Sounded like the work ended.

deep v's

yo, how'd you go about polishing your deep v's? looks nice!

Bling

It is really easy. I bought some Mothers Alum. and Mag polish.

1- Rub on polish until it turns black on rim surface. ( if it does not turn black, it is not aluminum and you should probably stop) haha

2- Remove/buff with a clean soft towel. I used microfiber.

3- Repeat until you get the shin you want.

I was thinking a mothers powerball would make it a lot easier and shinier.

Good luck. It should come out nice.

cool, thanks. one more

cool, thanks. one more question: did you have to deanodize/sand the surface down before polishing it?

Black

They used to be black. I used an airplane stripper to get the paint off. I think there is a video on YouTube of a guy doing it. Pretty easy. Brush it on and wait ten minutes. The paint becomes wrinkled and lifts off the rim. Then used like a plastic scraper to push the wrinkled paint off. A little 0000 steelwool helps too.

TRANSFORMATION

IN THE LONG PURSUIT FRAME.
CRAZY GEOMETRY!

Lo Pro

I rode it for like three feet after it happened. It was like a Lowrider/Pursuit/saddest moment of my life kinda ride. The BB is so low the cranks hit the floor at like 4 o'clock.

you should mount it above

you should mount it above your garage door as a reminder.

Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?

haha

Thanks for the offer. I think it is done for. The head tube, top tube, down tube, and both chain stays are all messed. For now it will just hang out in my garage as a conversation piece. I am starting a new build soon. I am thinking full campy.

haha

I just got it. haha
