kirks_ty Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I've just picked up a 1985 59n model ty. It has a chrome frame and Swingarm, I've never seen one like it before and wondered if it was some sort of special or just done by someone who wanted something a bit different? The chap I bought it off thought it had been like it from new. I've bought it as a winter project and wanted to get it all powder coated and looking nice. Has anyone seen one like this?

dadof2 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Chroming the frame was not uncommon, I saw at least a couple of riders who had it done (North Lancs area). They used to cut off the unnecessary brackets and polish up the welds that tended to be a bit rough and spattery, then get the frames chromed.

jon v8 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 My TY250R had a chromed frame,it also had the previous owners postcode stamped into it in various places over the bike. Excellent bike, but I can't say I wish I still had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
