    S&M no more chrome?

    Now that makes no sense newrider... Heat treating effects the metallurgic properties of the frame.. not the surface finish. If after heat-treat, they prep the frame for chrome,,, it should make no difference whatsoever.

    New prototype frames and build!!

    In this case.. the builder was technically following what you had said by leaving it raw - and actually HELPING you out most likely assuming you had plans lined up for paint already. Just specify you want the frames straight outa the jig instead of blasted next time. either way - I've actually...

    New prototype frames and build!!

    ^after being blasted. As I look at it - I am thinking you're frames are sandblasted. it should have a very "rough" look - but uniform throughout. The heat-zone from the welding "should" be gone if blasted OR primered.. BUT depending on what type of blasting they did (aka sand, media, etc...

    New prototype frames and build!!

    klean strip is what we use to strip all our re-paints as well. It works very well. Quite the messy job, however. And so long as you didnt want the raw look, sandblasting the frame is actually one of the best ways to prep for paint.

    New prototype frames and build!!

    Congrats Cru!! Doesn't it feel great to have a dream turn reality? Its awesome to design your own frame.. then shred it too! Next step for you is the purchase of machines to build 'em yourself! They look sick! And on note with the supplier throwing down some primer - it might be considered a...

    Right-on. If you could, try a few and let me know how it feels. Debating whether or not to throw in some-sort of a support in my rigid to stiffen it and make footjams easier.

    Considering some new bars?

    Steer clear of a-lab bars.. they are super weak and bend really easily. Multiple accounts of that have been posted over the years. I personally have bent a set of pimps after ditching over a small 10' dub. my nempro's have taken three times the abuse and I have nothing but awesome things to...

    Leverless Maxle mod for Pike

    This kids an idiot. this whole thread is rediculous. dumbest idea ever, let me know how expensive the medical bills are once it fails... and I agree with dirtbag... you must suck at using a maxle because there is no way its getting caught up on things an opening unless you somehow get a tree...

    Would love some geo specs.. and on the comment of riding em being more fun than building em.. well that is all opinion ;) My dad would say exactly the opposite. But I myself enjoy them both equally.

    ^^ Have you actually asked your local shop if they can order/source a fit? S&M is usually more than willing to sell single bikes, etc when customers ask at my LBS (where I work)
