My CW 26" BMX cruiser! I finally got the frame back from the powder coaters and aside from the repro bars, tires and modern seat it is period correct! Suzue hubs (rear is a Chair flip flop) Araya 7x rims, DT butted stainless spokes with alloy nipples, Sugino Maxycross cranks and kkt pedals, GT stem. It is a huge bike due to the very high bottom bracket, but a hoot to cruise around on. Like a normal BMX only in giant size

Steel is real, baby!
Awesome!
That door handle behind the bike makes it look like some sort of leveling adjuster for the saddle, though!

I noticed that just after I posted now if the repro sticker set would just arrive.. I also have some red bear traps to go on after I soak those kkts off.

They don't come up often, 26" cruisers were only raced a couple years before they went to 24". Mine was an unidentified frame and fork in a pile of chrome 20" frames on craigslist. Took me a while to identify it since it is pre-serial number and had only its 4130 sticker remaining when I got it. It took some help from the Bmx museum members and a chance listing on EBAY to figure out what it was.

You looking for a powdercoat shop? I found one in Richmond that said they've done a few bikes. Last year they said they could do it between 100- 130, depending on if they had your color. A friend had one done in Oakland, but the paint wasn't that even and they didn't plug the threads. He paid $90
