Think of how many they sold and this is the only one I ever heard about pinching

I had one that pinched too man!
I took a disk grinder and re slotted it and never had a problem with it.

i wouldn't do trans red, blue, purple or green, then.
aslo, i'm not too much of a fan of painted forks and bars on a silver/chrome frame.

i would either strip and polish the forks and bars as well (would then look very similar to Tom's bike.) or keep the black forks and bars and paint the frame trans black/gray.

it's up to you, of course.
 
whenever i can't make up my mind about a color theme, i usually browse bmxmuseum for a bit.

I was thinking of a trans brown or a trans teal I also found a trans white but I don't know how that would turn out
My forks and bars would be super hard to strip they are that rp black
Odyssey r25 and tree moto bars

I know exactly what I'm doing to my bars now, thanks!

Did you avoid the weld burns too?

Yes avoid the welds with both the polish and the steel wool unless you don't want the weld marks.

that looks really nice.

as for the trans color: i think that depends a bit on the parts that you plan to use for the build.

everything is polished!
with black forks bars and cranks
