wish i had a loft :D im with gt on this one good bath and used parts, although tbh i would rather a white powder job the only thing that would stop me doing it is those lovely stickers, either way its a top bike :daumenhoch:

GREMLIN:
Mmmmm, that's nice Tricky  :)
I'd say an acid bath, and then polish her up to see how it looks.  :coolsmiley:
I wish my decals were in that condition when i made my choice  :smitten:
Another resto, and build for us to follow... Sweet  ;)  G.

Tricky:


I think you 'll all agree on closer inspection that this is beyond a polish, the chrome is blistering on the forks.  Despite being kept in a dry loft it seems to have formed a rough salty textured coat, a bit like oxidation.  Its the only one of my frames that seemed to suffer this, which seems kind of strange.  Mind it is the oldest but only by a couple of years.
Regarding the stickers, no one seems to make a repo set exactly the same as these.  The main frame decal is all one, joined by clear sticker over the top of the tube. Also the REDLINE logo seems larger on these originals.

Tricky:

Same on the drop outs with this bloody "white coat" oxidation going on
