Man that's a sweet bike. Always loved those Shimano DX cranks - too bad they never took off

My childhood dream bike was a black and gold ten speed King Sting but this blue and silver version is close enough!

When I bought these years ago I had to buy three and passed the third along becasue I don't put plates on my bikes and of course now I have a need for exactly this black prismatic plate decal becasue I've finally decided to build my one last BMX bike with a plate and prismatic decals.

Totally not looking at any Corvette owners here

is this it?

So went looking through old threads to find the pic that inspired this build... pic is from 1974, but the thread was 2015- sheesh I'm terrible at finishing things sometimes.



So, I picked up a 24" 1980 "Down Cruiser" shortly thereafter and in the meantime Ray built his stunning 24" Scrambler tribute so 5 fracking years later I finally get around to finishing my rattle can version:


 
Ended up going blue as the black just looked a little too much like 'the bike that sketchy meth head rides at the swap meet over in the wrong side of town.' Still needs some small details, but it's mostly there.

For actual riding this one, plus a layback post I'm gunna make from solid stainless stock. The ol' spare tire is more of a second passenger at this point, so I'll need the extra room If we're ever allowed to go out in public again and gather at a show, I'm thinking I'll pick up a lucky 7 post, a 15" Stingray junior sized banana and slam it, and add some random motorcycle bars to really get the height down for looks like the Bob Devitt bikes-



For the time being just need some pads and to get the plate mounted, and add a seat post coin.

Wrapped up my COVID Predator project; pretty happy with the final result.

I may be getting this tomorrow,  minus the wheels
