I reckon you should have left it as is mate and just took it apart and cleaned.

Kills me to see the decals taken off.  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Mat the seatpost came straight out and the headset to

Struggleing with the pedals at the moment
But I'll be giving them a good twating tonight

I know what you mean James
But I can't just clean it up and leave it
The chrome is to far gone

ok so i decided to give it a little clean ,,by getting rid of some of the rust

only fair ,before sending to dan


the bars are the worse

before

after


took the chain ring off and its a tuff neck ,,it was on the wrong way round ,,,bit of a clean



rust removal from the crank ,,, needs a rechrome



the frames come up alright ,but still needs a refinish

And how clean is that chainring !  :shocked: ;D

That's looking great so far Glen  :coolsmiley: 

Dan's definitely the only man for powder coat and I wouldn't use anyone else either so that make two arse lickers  ;D

Who do you use for new chrome cause I need to get some bars sorted asap  :)
