thats sick. i like the Double barrell. how does the bike ride
Nope fully polished and reshaped Ultegra rer der !
I had to strip the orignal , buff it , polish out the Shimano logo and reshpe the center section with the scotchbrite wheel on the air die grinder , then re-polish everything .
The fork was a whole nother story , like 3-4 days of solid polishing
dam man that some sick **** right there. holy ow wch dude your gonna ahve to wear sun glasses everywhere you go or you will blind yourself on the bling. man that clean hell job man hella job on it..
Does Huggie Bear know his bike is missing yet?
This brings burning retinas to a whole new level.
Small amount of contrast makes a big differnce !
It would be too hard to polish everthing , somethings are better left anodized .
Agreed. But I DO think it needs some "Diamond Coat" bars...mostly just cuz I wanna see what they look like!
do not and i repeat do not look directly at that thing with out shades on, even at night. my eyes are still hurting from checking it out last week.
Awesome is a bit of an understatement.
How hot does that thing get when it's out in the sun? My really old chromed bmx bike (from back in "my days") would get burning hot if I left by my front door to go get a drink. The sun would hit it mid koolaid-break and by the time I got back, it'd be hot enough to burn. Might not have been from the chrome. . . though.

killer.
like I said in the thread posted on mtbr, that thing is so far beyond these high dollar catalog queen click and order bolt-up bikes, it's just insane. Much respect for all of the work and detail that went into that build (even though I'm not a fan of chrome either, respect is still due).

I decided for you
Well the bike isnt for everyone , it's either love ot or hate it .
to everyone who said it was too much chrome to live with but they still like it ... THANK YOU !!! I did my job then .
Really what can you compair that bike too ??
T-1000 anyone ?
silversurfer mang!
no really, watch for it though, all the kids going back to chrome profiles and chrome bars recently... next step from easter.
you're bringin' back the benchmark for all these style-eaters WCH! can you get a matching chrome jofa with the iced out strap on faceguard grill???
Brad, any clear on the hoops or just raw polish? Mine are at the painters right now.... so a little late for me, but I had considered it. Im close to finishing all those demos banging around my living room....
Theres also a BR getting ready for chunky gold flake over gloss black....

I believe the MTX (and maybe others besides bmx too?) come in "polished" finish now straight from Sun.
Wow, I thought I would have known that.... And its MTX's I have over at the paint booth right now as well.
Hmmm... Polished MTXs on Red I9s with red to silver fade spokes........
bloody mirror.Polished MTXs on Red I9s with red to silver fade spokes........
and where did Maverick come up with the name "speedball" for their seatpost??
that thing is dipped,
in chrome that is
in chrome that is
needs a smaller sproket on the front to make it look at tad better but other than that my god!
Looks pretty nice. I'd like to see one with some red bits or something too. Actually I really like the 'deep red over chrome' look you had on one of your other bikes.
Does it ship with 5 tubes of autosol to keep it so shiny? The owner will have a strong right arm pretty soon.

I shipped the bike with a detail and polishing kit
I included chrome polish , steel wool , micro fiber polishing cloths and a industials size tube a mothers metal polish !
really $$$ pimp sled, always like to see others dream builds. I would have left more contrasts and lightened the part selection up a bit. Wow though...

what do you know. i come over here to make a post about my new bike and i find this....
the major influence behind this build was my old BMX bikes, for many years i've wanted to build an all chromed/polished MTB....
it weighs in at 38.5lbs on my bathroom scale (which is open to discussion on it's precision since it is a dial type...)
