Is this a restore or refinish?

Hi guys,
Just got this from oldscool on here ;)

Can anyone tell me if this is worth giving an Oxalic bath?

Or is it a shot blast and re-chrome?

There are plenty of scratches and marks and pits.
I would say there are chrome chips too.

Also, the part that joins the bottom bracket with the looptail looks to be slightly concave - is this normal or heavy use??

Cheers as always :daumenhoch:

I'd say its ALWAYS worth a citric acid bath and then re-assess  :daumenhoch:

Anything you can do to save the original finish has to be good... give it a good 24 hr sock in 500g og Citric and give it a good Peek'ing and see how it looks :-)

Jaymz:
Its only going to be original once

A bloody good soak and a bloody good polish and I'm sure that'll come up sweet... what've you got to lose  :daumenhoch:

Old School:
I wholeheartedly agree, shot blast and pc is last resort!
Is citric acid same as Oxalic acid?
How do I remove the decals?
Does anyone on here do repop decals?
