Looks good that!
Can't beat simple colourways!
-
That looks amazing mate - fair play!!
-
All the above are correct yes.
Rides spot on, can't fault it!
Only got it on eBay as each time I get a new bike it goes up for sale!
-
Not quite mate, if you check my profile all the bikes I've sold are above value, entices people to offer and believe they're getting a bargain- psychological selling
-
Haha indeed mate I do love it- this is what the king would be for!
It's back for sale if anyone's interested, on pinkbike
-
Basically, thought I would share my latest purchase... I've had many bikes this past year, and have always ridden 20" bikes so a 24 is taking a bit of getting used to... Anyway, it is great fun and I'm not too far off my old Pb's!

I like it when people make topics I can take information from
I'm such a top guy, I know all the right questions to ask
But seriously people, thanks for all your input! Hopefully I won't cock it up hahaha

Ok thanks for the help!

no caustic wont remove laser etching! a mate of mine did his try all h hub, and his echo sl frame, both have laser etched logos and they are still on there, not even faded!
Ok sweet cheers boy!
I've stripped 2 echo headsets exactly the same way, just remove the headset before the caustic eats too deep.
Awesome, so once the gold has come off, get it out sharpish?!
Any idea how to get it a very vibrant silver with 'rubbing off' the king logos in order to buff it up before lacquer goes on?
Cheers for the input people!
-
It will remove all markings on the headset and completely strip it..
Ive done quite abit in caustic soda..im quite the pro! Ha
So you're saying the logos will go?!
yep caustic will leave the logo's as i belive there laser etched on! will be an easy little job.
you could shine it up and lacquer it to keep its shine, but up to you really
be careful with caustic though, that stuffs lethal, use proper protection, gloves and sfuff, dont breath it in if you can
Yeh proper protection would be used at all times, i wasn't sure about the lasing etching as to how far down the soda actually removes markings
Will leave the logos 100%
We need a third opinion now for a deciding vote haha!

Hey people,
Was just wondering whether the use of caustic soda on a king headset would remove the entirety of the paint, but leave behind the laser etched logos? And also, if this works, would a coat of lacquer retain the rawed finish- despite no paint being applied?
Cheers!
[PS- it's gold, and I'm looking for any other colour so if you want to swap and save the hassle of potentially ruining an awesome headset, let me know
) Haha. -
Yeh that's a valid point! I would push it too far as I never land too flat, just like flowing and throwing some tricks in there haha- but cheers for the heads up!
-
Fair enough, i have seen that they're prone to cracking! Surely flow lines and a couple of twists over dirt can't cause it to crack....
...surely? ...
-
An cheers mate fair enough! I'm a pretty smooth rider, and been riding trials and bmx for a fair few years now- so wanted to combine the two into a park and dirt combo!
-
Is it possible to anodise chrome? Or a very bright and vibrant silver?
-
Basically was just wondering what people's opinions were/ if anyone does run a zoot frame for park or dirt jumping? Mainly because I'm looking to get rid of my identiti 666 frame for something a bit more flicky and light...
Cheers
-
My mates brother owns that, could see if he can get a good deal?
haha -
Ford rs blue/purple
Yes, the RS performance blue (on the mk2) would look amazing
-
That looks absolutely amazing!!
-
I nitromorsed (the good stuff) then wire wooled to smooth up
By 'the good stuff' which do you mean haha- I see B&Q sell one relatively cheap... How much do you think you'd need in order to do a 24" frame? (ml or even l)
-
It will need to be totally stripped of every speck in every corner or the anodising will end up spotty. You can't just blast the paint off either or you end up pushing particles of paint into the aluminium which just causes more problems.
Anybody suggest a good way of stripping it so it will be 100% clean?!
I'm assuming nitromors? And then potentially sanding? I would like to know how to get a perfect prep service too haha
-
Awesome, ill look into it! Thanks
-
This may sounds bizarre, but what sort of price are you looking at to get frames and forks anodised, as opposed to a fair few smaller parts such as bars, levers and pedal etc...
Cheers

That looks mega mate - Loo forward to some riding pics on it!
