NEW PROJECT WHEN I GET A CHANCE
munners:
Im not one for rechroming. Hate it. If im honest, i think it will be hard to source all the correct parts for it to make it a factory spec. Ive got loads of bits hanging around and i may just build it as i go along. I just ,for some reason, fancy putting some white alloyed hubbed tuffs on it. Dont know why, but........ Really great frame though. Cannot stress enough. I like a Kuwi.
Yeh Pete it did come with 1 3/8 wheels. Im gonna put them in the drink too whilst i got it left in the garage. Once they are out i will contact ya to see if you want them.
I bought the oxalic off some bloke on the net. Put in oxalic acid Ian. If not check out my profile (munners1975) and you will see where i got it from. They were a mare with the delivery time though. Get 2 bags full. I think it works better than just the 1. (2 kg that is.)

wow! did those stickers really survive the acid bath so well?
munners:
Oxalic doesnt take the decals off. Amazing. Be careful though as i have noticed that it can fade the annodize on some parts. Not sure if that is known yet.
I have loads of nuts and screws that were going rusty. I put them in last night and they are like new. I would also advise to spray whatever you put in the acid with wd40 afterwards.
munners:
I found a pic of the bike when i won it off of ebay. You cant really see how bad it was on here. You can see that the top tube was dull apart from where the pad sat on it. Infact the whole frame and forks was dull. When i pulled it out of the acid and hosed it down and cleaned it with a hot bucket of hot water and washing up liquid, it brought it back to life without even polishing. The polish just makes it more bling. i cant talk highly enough about oxalic. :smitten:
