As some of you will know, i got a rather tatty Hutch trickstar 2 recently of the bay for a happy price  ;)
Just fished it out its CAP bath and thought i would start my first resto thread so here goes...

A sorry state


Preparing the bath


Fill as much free space as possible to save on CAP usage


Looks like it worked


Yep!




Couldn't resist throwing some old wheels on it to see how it sits




It's is going to need a major makeover, two welds near both rear dropouts and one on the top tube a testament to a tough life.
The welds are not terrible and it's is pretty straight but i may get my steel worker pal to give them the once over.

Really looking forward to getting stuck into this build, i intend to take my time with it and get it just right as it wont be going anywhere when its done.  :daumenhoch:

Stil open for suggestions on colour schemes  :)

Jaymz:
might have to give my rider frame a quick bath, the results look good with little effort, nice one

oldschoolace:
Very little effort! Really tough spots sometimes need a quick scrub with a toothbrush but apart from that its dead easy. Totaly safe too, no gloves, gas mask or goggles needed. You could drink the stuff!  ;D

Jaymz:
Ok so actually what is it, i thought it was an acid bath
