Title: My Trike build-or not
Post by: hunter on July 22, 2010, 08:45:20 PM
Some of you may or maynot know that i bought voodoo's reliant trike project a few weeks ago,
on jetting it home i decided the frame was not suitable for myself,but rather than scrap it,
i thought i'd make some adjustments,   anyway here goes.9" angle grinder.

A couple of pics for starters more right up later.

That's interesting. Often seen that finish on new parts but didn't know anyone did it as a service. What's the coating exactly?

It's zinc,and i think it's called yellow zinc,
the callipers in the pics are brand new and the Finnish on them is also zinc but it's called clear.
I had them done in yellow because the yellow seems to be more rust resistance.

With the right coloured paintjob, that could make a really interesting finish on a bike. A trike done in various metal finishes, rather than paint would look cool.
