I was going to try and clean it up but I though the chrome was too far gone so I took it to a chromers who said it could be revived to a point but in all truth was too manky so it was dipped and then a zinc coating or something like that anyway bunged on it to stop it rusting. Then it was taken for blasting and powder somewhere else. The only thing that was a shame whas that the dipping process destroyed the brake cable guide on the top tube so I had to cut it off and grind it back smooth prior to powder.

I really like the Ammaco Pro stickers but clearly it isn't one of those but I think just the "Ammaco" part of that sticker would look nice as it is black so carries the theme, will have a think and maybe contact Del to get them sorted.
Really pleased with how it turned out. Even though it was built to a budget I was still suprised at the cost . Think it stands me at around £345 from initial purchase to where it is now. God knows how much some of you guys spend owhen I see these Skyways and Haros running NOS Z-rims or Ukais etc :shocked: .
Thanks for the nice comments - means alot for the first build. Think I am going to start on my Aero F&F of which I still am not clear what it really is!!
