So i picked up a frame i’ve been looking for forever about a month ago. Thing is, i want to do this build “right”. And my basic idea for the frame is to powder coat, with copper plated lugs.
Question is: Should i plate the whole frame, tape the lugs, then powder. Or, Should i powder the whole frame, strip the lugs (abrasive removal of just the lugs, detailed), then plate the raw lugs.
Which if either will work, and which is better?

Very interesting to get some insight on the movies that shaped my love of animation from the man himself.
Just witnessed how our local police force patrols our bike/walk path…. with a four wheeler. While from an “in case of emergency” standpoint this probably makes sense, from all other practical applications it is asinine.
Our path is in its infancy and the portion he was patrolling is a total of 12m round trip. The vehicle of choice he was perched a top is as wide as the path. This means in said emergency if he needed to scale the whole six miles one way, he would either; a. Mow down pedestrians b. Have to stop and wait for said pedestrians to move c. Go off road. This last option seems viable if you are unfamiliar with the territory. Off to one side and he would need a boat as the whole path follows either the river or the creek, to the other is a levee which if you’re going to bother to scale, your brothers in cruisers would be better suited to handle it once it went to the road.
Now, I am all for the police patrols, as the area has become a hangout for misfit kids and homeless gypsies. But all this aside, i think they missed the whole point! Get on a bike and off your oversized ATV/ass!
