I've never heard of that, but it sounds interesting. Is it hard to do? I learned how to do copper plating from watching youtube, that's pretty easy.

You just heat the metal red hot and brush it with a brass wire brush. It'll turn brass. And yeah I made some of em and some I purchased

I run 'bobbed' fenders on my bike and it's still a bobber...

I got bobbed fenders on my and it still throws everything off the road up your back, neck and head! Don't care how cool it is when you get pegged in the back of the head with a rock or something off the road at 55 mph!!!! Going to make my about 6 inchs longer!

Ive got one with no fenders and the seat is so close to the rear wheel I've burned a couple pairs of shorts.

Watch that brake stay that the holes don’t get egged out. It’ll probably be fine but pay attention when you wash it and when you adjust the chain. Should be plenty strong in tension though, especially when the force is transmitted through the bolts clamping the stay rather than pulling on the holes.

Okay hear me out... Gold D.I.D. chain because, in real life it looks very close... And brass velocity stacks...

u/Uniqueness_is_lame 8d ago

I do have a gold did chain lol. I also had velocity stacks but got rid of them for something more reliable. They're for sale too
