as the title says also a little bit of respect for da yoot for a  change  :daumenhoch: and some paint remover that's worth a try :daumenhoch:


got this the other day no2 ns frame,    actually the yoot consider this to be old school  :LolLolLolLol:   script, spotted it for sale in the skate park asked about price , but the kid wasn't about, when i went back later on it was gone .. oh well  :'(.... then spotted it behind the counter kid handed it over and said  "dude says you can have it "  :daumenhoch:  cool and jolly decent of him  :daumenhoch:


Mutiny Burlish frame ,  not sure on date somewhere between 07 and 09  i think ,  actually one of the chaps at Mutiny has said he might be able to firm up a date from the serial number so waiting on that , again Jolly decent of him  :daumenhoch:

was looking for a cheap frame to mount the bashguard on to save ruining my mirraco cos i do like it ,  so this is a pretty good candidate , the seat and chain stays are already dinted in a few places so no issues there with buggering em up trying to bash stuff

as you can no doubt guess it was covered in 20 layers of matt black spray over years of monster energy drink stickers so needed to be stripped , thought might try this paint remover , synstrips the stuff but not cheap and i didn't kneed a gallon of the stuff so found this in the local diy shop under a fiver so worth a go,   stuff smells like nitromorse used to and burns your skin and your nose  like nitromorse used to so thats a good start ,  :daumenhoch:

pretty good stuff  ate  through the top layers almost straight away and took about 20 mins to get through the original paint and primer down to the steel :daumenhoch:


thinking about maybe doing this in gun blue or oil burnt  :-\  but  you got to love a nice bit of unpainted cro-mo  :daumenhoch:

lung busting paste  :LolLolLolLol: worth a go don't know if it will touch powder coat, but good on sprayed shite



not fasionable anymore raw finish (not that i'm fookin botherd , never owned any vision clone wear either) but still nice shiny cro-mo with some quality welding :daumenhoch: 4lbs 10 1/2 oz for those that are interested ....... ;D

Devilock:
Just leave it like that & build...!

Sounds like a quality toxic product!!

deeman:
nice work and nice frame-the welds look lovely!top freebie! :daumenhoch:

garran:
nice, i would be well happy to ride that :daumenhoch:

Peter J:
I like that  :daumenhoch:
