Bling is easy just buy it and bolt on.

But the Deatail is more for the severely retarded

And for the untrained eye these pictures will mean little.

But the experts will pic the nickle plated bolts, pins cap screws,
chain adjusters , nuts etc.
Not to forget the titanium bleed nipples and bango bolts.
and various s/s cap screws.
As the stadard zinc plating washes off after about 5 years and looks crap
All of which can be bought in titanium or s/s, alloy.
but very expensive.
I have bought a home plating kit and do it at home piece at at time very cheap.Nickle is like chrome and will last for ever.

Labour of love ,and ain't that Brokeback mountain love either
Not that there is anything wrong with that.

(why don't you insert pictures there ^^^^ ) 


I see some shiny bolt heads  

And a good looking bike.....

In my mind there's no connection with your/anyone's poop chute....

That rear sprocket would look great on my bike.
Who made it? Where can I get one?

The nice shiny bolts on the front end are great. Mine are a bit rusty, maybe I should replace them too

when your finshed with your bike you can work on my bike anytime Rob

supersprox stealth chainring, steel outer teeth, aluminium carrier. the mx guys are on them these days too.

gold for the M series, the S series gets black outer/alloy carrrier.

they also have tabs to stop the cush washers reversing into the hub/eccentric.

Rob....nice work mate!

now.....can you get some grey cable ties please.....and maybe black plastic belt covers?

Nice work Rob, to me it's always in the details.

which plating kit did you get

yeah, which one? where? how much? is it easy to use? messy?


paul.

theres two types that i know of the first is using a cathode and anode and running a currant through the solution the second one is just ad what you want electroplated and heat the chemicals do the rest but interested in which one rob used whether it a caswell kit or a jane kit or another that i havent heard of  

All good as long as you remember stainless bolts are not known for their tensile and shear strength.

Hey paul depends what you call messy.
I don't think it is that bad you just need a small work bench or even the kitchen will do but i like to leave it set up. so easy to do once you do a few trial runs and sort out the bugs.
I take a few parts of to be plated when i get home from work just drop them in a small container of hydrochloric acid 10 minutes to strip the old plate.
and then plate them only takes 45 minutes.But the preparation of the parts are critical for final finish
I bought the zinc nickle kit $215 http://www.janekits.com.au/mainframe.php

Good point for those who are not sure on the tech specs on bolts
That's why i plated the high tensile bolts rather than buying the very costly titanium stuff.
and use the s/s for the unimportant stuff.
