CAAD4 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 i love these build threads...awesome build! and many safe miles if you dont mind me asking, what did the copper plating cost in the end? All witihin budget Darling..... PM Sent
CAAD4 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Looks cool - now just needs a badge on the steerer tube.... perhaps in black and copper? I'm on the lookout for something different...
JXV Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Looks great. The copper will tarnish so if you want to retain the shiny finish will need to polish or clear coat quite soon.

Skylark Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Awesome, best build that's been in thehub for a while, classy.
Gandalf Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 really looks good man, well done! I like that you also plated the pedals, really makes it complete. Enjoy the ride!
deanbean Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Wow that is pretty, love how the copper looks, you'll have more than just the bike thieves after you now, also the copper thieves

Who knows, maybe if I end up using it a lot, I might one day...
deanbean Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I want one of those for my SS, but the price, £140, ouch...
Guest notmyname Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I schmaak the repurposed saddle. It's fitting. Great job man, I've drooled down my front and I have to go in to a meeting in a few minutes.
