I had a Murray curved seat tube frame chromed

[Floyd]

More commonly Elgin, but this ones badged Western Flyer. I'm still not sure what direction I'm goin with this.......

Floyd, This is one of my favorite frames, such a lovely shape. There is plenty of room for some oversize tires, perhaps some blackout hubs, black spokes, rims, and tires.

 

[Boris]

I like it. Wha'd it cost?

Edit: I'm seein' some fat cream tires on that.

 

[STRADALITE]

I say chrome the entire bike

The question is WHERE? I've got some Torrington cross braced handlebars that need TLC.

 

[Floyd]

TR6SC, I'm with you there. These are the best looking frames of that era that are still available without breakin the bank!

Boris, I currently have cream tires in mind. The cost? Well...... the wife thinks it was real cheap. The shop let me do alot of the prep work. Kept cost down.

STRADALITE, my budget about blown now, although a few components will be getting copper plated.

Sav Temp, I went to Pauls plating in Evans city PA. I went there cause they local, but as I'm learning it's a pretty darn good choice!

Looks cool,Are the rear forks (or drop ins or whatever they're called here) fully welded on or spot welded?

 

[Euphman06]

Love it. Might make a pretty cool mountain bike klunker

I need some contact info, I have to budget much worse than Congress and I'm going to want to do this and also try and repair the bar on Tempest that popped out when I found somebody stole a water dept. cover one morning
