If the admin wants to move this to "accessories" or "vendors" that is fine. I was thinking it is for "customizing" your bike in general sense... whatever.




The "Customs" forum has sort of evolved away from the original concept, and I'm happy to leave this thread right where it is.

As for material/surface/appearance, my suggestion would be to do it in a material that allows for the widest range of coatings/platings, maybe just prep it with some primer or something to protect it during shipping, and let the end buyer decide how they want it finished. This would keep production costs down and allow the greatest degree of cutomisation. Steel would probably be the safest on those lines, as it can be easily painted, polished, powder coated, or plated with chrome, copper, bronze, or pretty much anything else. Rust & weight are down-sides hence the need for some sort of primer for shipping, however any metal will oxidise given the right conditions, and it's not a huge piece so weight won't be too bad (unless you press it from 1/4" plate or something )
