Did Ceya finally get A camera!??!

I wonder how much would it cost to copper plate a seatpost, stem, bars, and cranks... Maybe hubs rims and spokes too, but probably not. I'm thinking the same finish they have on brooks saddle rails. It would develop a really nice patina over time, and would match smashingly with my cyclops with red to copper fade paintjob.

Can you copper plate alloy easily? I don't ride my cyclops enough to justify NOT doing this.

picture kind of showing fade on the cyclops

edit: B*tch! You know what I want! Hahahahaha! I wanna talk to Sampson! Fly me to the moon like that b*tch Alice Kramden! 'Cause it's hard being black and gifted! Sometimes I wanna throw it all down and get lifted!

Do I have a new camera? yes.

Will I post pics of my new bikes here with that camera? No.

Are those my pics? No the maker (RAP) that does it in Japan pics.

Do I have those bars? Soon .

CEYA!

honestly, i was drunk and wanting to rebel against all this stupid njs fetishization.

Just wait until penny farthings come back in syle...then you'll really be pissed!

Adam, people who customize cars and motorcycles can have the parts gold-plated for you, if you want that effect.

I got in touchw ith Tomity! I am going to get the following:
-Gold DuraAce Track Crank
-Gold 50t Sugino Zen Ring
-GOld MKS Pedals
-Gold MKS Toe Clips
-Gold Nitto Jaguar Post
-Gold 130 Steel Stem 58 degrees
-Gold B-123 Bars

Then elsewhere I'll buy:
-Kashimax 5 gold Saddle in White
-Kashimax Double Straps
-Kashimax Top Tube Protector
-DuraAce High Flange Hubs
-Deep V's

Do you guys know of anywhere in the USA I could send the hubs, headset, and rims to get anodized? Could I anodize the spoked too? Or should I do black? Probably black.
ON DuraAce Hubs, can the DuraAce logos be removed if I want to get them anodized, then reinstalled? That could be an issue. Is it just a sticker? or a removable cap? Are they sealed hubs? or no?
a.s.

****...

baaaaaaaaaaalin' ......

get ya paper up... forget leanin' with the top down, mazeratti, g4's, lamborguini's, ice, low chains, red monkeys, climbing squirrells, exclusive kicks, custom clarks, pelle pelle's, and all that

baaaaaaaaaalin'.....minted out track frames is that new ish....only to be ridden with icy fresh kicks, and crispy starched gear and a MEaaaan dark pair of shades on a nice hot winter day like today!!!!

we fly high, no lie, you knoooow this...
foreign rides, outside, 's like showbizzzz......

you ain't really baaalin' if you can't wheelie that ish tho....bring back that 90's ruff ryders **** with it too...

remiiiiiiix!

you mean TROLL, right?

This aughta draw Juvi out of hiding...

Look in your yellow pages under "plating" and make some calls. That, or ask around at your local RC car shop - those dudes are all about anodizing.

And no, the DA hubs are not sealed.

DA hubs are not so great for the street unless you love cleaning hubs...

Is there something wrong with that?

I suppose I am spoiled with sealed hubs on my Road bike....how often will I be cleaning my hubs in Rainy seattle?
a.s.

once a rainy season. its pretty easy, too. i rode some DA all through a rainy SF winter (a winter where we had more rain than seattle) and they were fine. then juvi bought them, and god knows what terrible things he did to em, and now they're on to a 3rd owner and still doing great.

Awesome! So that's ok! Now how about headsets, pedals and BB? The bike comes with a Hatta headset and BB...should I swap it for a DuraAce road one? as well as teh BB? And the pedals I want arent sealed either, i beleive...the MKS Royal Nuevos....or something like that.
a.s.

nah, keep the hatta, they're super nice. if you're woried about the pedals just pack em with phil. i dont think ive regreased my pedals since i first got them, i wouldnt worry. pedals are servicable too.

yo....don't use 'sealed' anything...unless it's phil...won't be fly

oh...and you should lace your rims 4x leading/trailing 36h...only the freshest...
oh...and get the shiny phil wood cog and get a big size too like 19...so it blings more(trust!!...just have to wipe the grease off of it with a rag when you want it to shadingle)......so, if you do 52 or something up front, you can have a nice comfy 70+ gear inch ride

baaaaalin'

edit: I know I'm not the only one hyped about this ride...
you put Samson in my crosshairs...maybe it'll be my first luxury whip...now, where to cop? tomity? sashae? where r these japan frames at?

Soon. What size? c/t seat and c/c top.

S/F,
CEYA!

ya don know, ya betta axe somebody

^^^

Those priests need to be 'shopped chained to a ridiculous gold NJS track bike. That'll show 'em.

[edit] I still think the Samson is the jam.

i'm going to take this opportunity to fully plug father ted as one of the best shows ever! [/pay up bbc]

I like Black Adder myself!
