Cooks Cruiser with BIN

[DM]

I could be so tempted by this - If it was the curved top-tube model and not the straight one.

CBR bars and BB, Gary Cook (CQP) cranks, early Phil disc hub.

Yes, it's a pub bike;
Yes, it's almost $3K USD...
Yes, I already own 2 Kona copies.
It's Retrobike - Who said it had to make sense...?

Is that nickel plated steel?

 

[DM]

I doubt it.
It looks too shiny for nickel, which is a bit more muted and subtle.

Cooks and other BMX companies were heavily into chrome plating (ranging from triple-plated show chrome on some brands to nasty, flaky crap on others) but I haven't heard of nickel-plated ones.

Anyone?
