What were your plans after chroming the front end? (What paint scheme I mean)

This one, with the front lugs and the fork crown.

The story is that the previous owner has sprayed the original paint with mat black... I carefully tried to take it off but the original paint was too damaged, so I decided to chrome the front end and make another paintjob.
But the fork had a crack during it's chrome bath and the damage was too big.

Do you want some chromed forks, I bought them with a frame with seized seatpost, could sell on as they aren't going to be doing much unless I get the post out?

Is it an MXL fork ? With that gorgeous crown that made me bought the whole bike...?

:)

Is this how chrome lugs were done back then? Just from interested in the process - I assumed you couldn't braze a pre-chromed lug but hadn't seen a frame pre-paint like this before.

Lovely frame, my size too. But no space : )

Yes frames are chromed first and painted.

This is another Merckx, NOS before painting :
(Thanks @GrosNaze)

I just ordered a Max fork (but with straight legs...)

So I wait to receive the fork and if it's nice I'll keep the frame.

Woohoo!

Yes ! :)

Stink was just about to pm you an offer.
Anyone else have a 58cm Mercx for sale?

Just wait a month and you could get an MXL frame plus a Max fork ! ;)

I'm back and updated.

Update, I get the fork.

As retrogression said "steerer wall thickness is much too thin to cut threads in it"...

Inner diameter is 22,2mm and outside diameter is 25,4mm...

So I don't understand why I shouldn't cut threads...

V4 😍

😊

I could consider a trade for a Shimano Ultegra R8000 11v groupset.

I need :

• crankset (175mm)
  
• brifters
  
• front and rear derailleurs
  
• cassette (need a big cog)
  
• chain
  

On wheels.
