I've actually got my frame and forks together now. Funnily enough for the 1st time ever i've put the headset together dry.
More to do with pulling apart and arsing around. But for a full build i've always prepared whichever bike to be ready to ride.  ;)
Kowalski are you going to be looking for full wheels or piece by piece? Just so i know what to keep an eye out for, for you.   G.  :daumenhoch:

Just Autosol, cloths, elbow grease and plenty of sweat bud.  I did it 4-6 inches at a time, using loadsa paste and working it in all directions to really attack it.  I was gob smacked the way it came up eventually, i honestly thought it was a lost cause, even after going over it the 3 or 4 times before i started seeing a change. 
Oh i did bath it as well... I hope the wife doesn't see this  :D  I bathed it while she was out. Dried it off nicely. Then used her hair dryer to pump hot air thru the tubes, spraying WD40 in with the air towards the end to lightly coat the insides of the tubing. After that it's just been polished up with a dry cloth. I'm happy with it. The wife knows no better, and life is good.  :daumenhoch:   G.
