wood grain finish!

[/\/\3qq3/\/\]

Hey guys,
After viewing rhysrhysbaby's mosh SF video
I looked at the 2006 spring catalogue. Page 3
http://www.mosh-parts.com/mosh_spring_cat.pdf
And noticed the wood grain finished parts. Has anyone seen or found a store or knows a website that sells these?

That's insanely disgusting. Don't tell me your thinking of buying some of that. But lots of shops stock Mosh (stives included meppam!).

I wouldn't normally go for this type of design but it'd look awsome with my frame colour. (Tan)

 

[bmx>mtb]

that finish looks good off a bike but i dunno how it would match any colour, also i think it would end up looking real dodgy when it gets scratched.

Yeah i know what you mean, but my frames is Tan and I rekon I'd look alright with it on.

Okay meppam, haha.... DON'T get the woodgrain stuff it will look bad. If you want your colour scheme to look really good, and you have a lot of money to spare (haha), then do this:

-get some white forks, odyssey or paint some sundays
-get some white fly ruben pedals or white wellgo mg1's
-get a black odyssey elementary stem
-get some black animal edwins or odi longnecks
-get those KHE tryes

why would you want mosh on your bike anyways

they have mosh parts, but they don't have the wooden parts.

So people don't have to open up the .pdf, I accidentally made a copy.
I think it would look ok on a black bike or maybe a green bike. I personally do not like it.

 

[hubbie]

geez, take it easy on him guys. I actually think it looks really good, but again not sure what it would match. hope you find it mate!

shit its weird they look soo realistic that they actually look weak , and yeah they would be full shonky when they get scratched

 

[TimeMarchesOn]

they look freakishly realistic, i would only run the hubs, cos after all they are mosh parts =\ maybe look good with a dull green, just like a tree. get your orchid gear on and then your complete green thumb. i think they would look good with your frame, but people do ride their bike and people do scratch parts then i don't think they would look good at all, thats why i would only go with the hubs. to bad i already have ody hazards eh

 

[sawtell]

i rekon they look freakin mint.. if i had the cash to replace it after everyride id buy the gear,... but i dont so tehre fore it would look crap after 2 weeks.

 

[Macr]

If they had of machined the teeth after applying the wood grain, they effect would have lasted longer and not look so bad. Mind you, there is always the option of getting the teeth machined to remove the paint.

 

[rhysrhysbaby]

its looks alright, but i cant see it working too well on a bike unless you run all the wood grain stuff and a colour that will work with it, like a green etc.
i wouldnt run it personally.

EDIT!! ian schwartz bike check on the sunday site. i think this bike check is pretty old but he's running the wood grain sprocket

[andytaylor]

its looks interesting

i kinda need to touch it

but
when it gets scratched there goes the illusion
and it will start to look dodgy

 

[bazz1990]

here you go

i think it looks all right with this colour

Thanks guys for you opinions and pics.
Very helpful

 

[eerrggh]

thats stuffs awesom... although it looks like it needs to be hanging on a wall not getting messed up on a bike . the sprockets on the pictures look great, i wonder how long they've been used for . i imagine they would look poo once the teetch got nice and scratched.

found these photos in my collection of track bike photos on my computer. do it yourself version of the same idea.
