I'm going to raw the cranks, bars, and finish the forks, then polish them all, and then get them a powdercoater clear them.
I may or may not put the brakes back on, and I can't say how long the pegs will last for.

Jim C's that have been beat to hell and back. The left is an unsealed mag (second replacement), and the right is a sealed mag (fourth replacement) that fell off the roof of a moving vehicle and spun around fast enough to fuse the cap to the body.

Nice.
I guess mine are practically new in comparison.. only dropped the bike a few times with them on, and bashed on some rocks.
I sure wish I had a 20" bike now..

Indeed it is. It's totally taken apart now, and is in the back of my car.
Off to the 'coaters in the AM.

None, actually. The first two nights I worked on it, I didn't have a mask, so the Jasco and paint dust did more than enough damage.
edit: And to Madman, I'll post up a picture of my last right-side pedal. The last two months that it was on my bike, it didn't even have any bearings; I ground straight through the bearing cage, and they all spilled out at the Alameda skatepark.

Ha.
This was one of my old pedals:
I did a 180* over a tabletop in the skatpark (about 6ft length and 4ft height) and when I landed I snapped it.

Been there, done that; that's why don't run anything that even remotely looks like a Shimano DX pedal, or a generic Wellgo platform, for that matter.

We put together a bike out of my friend's spare parts today:
He didn't have a seatpost that would fit, so no seat for now.. haha
Also used a crappy old chain that's bent and not too safe.. should have taken out another link but he's buying a new chain tomorrow anyway.
Frame is an old specialized fatboy I think, wheels are just whatever came on the bike, bars are from a crappy walmart bike. The frame is fairly heavy, complete bike's probably like 35lb (needs better bars, and a seat...)
It works!
..until the chain falls off and you bust your balls. POS thing. But it was free.

parts on the bike at the moment:
Standard STA frame
Odyssey milk bars
1 day old Odyssey Rich Hirsch grips
random hinge clamp brake lever i found in a box
Primo casket stem
Tank headset
bent poverty fork with 990 plate and tektro brake
Odyssey 2X4 brake shoes
poverty seat with bent rails *EDIT: now its a generic smaller black seat i got for $5
Redline seatpost with robinson clamp
POW cranks
Metal 36t sproket
dont know what kind of chain it is but its gone through a couple unintentional sprocket grinds and the occasional smash on a cement ledge without a single bent/broken link.
Jim C. pedals
front wheel- Sun BFR laced to Bullet Proof hub
Primo dirt monster front tire
rear wheel- Sun big city laced to Odyssey hazzard f/f hub with Primo spokes and Odyssey 13t freewheel
Kenda krackpot rear tire
a gold stem, orange pedals and a green tire is what you get when you buy things on sale.

Lookie.
I still need to take off the clamp half of the brake lever. It doesn't take a predominant role in the photo but it's there.. I'm too lazy to take off the grips and then put them back on just now. Wouldn't hurt to cut an inch or two off the ends of the bars also.
