Title: S&M - gun oil - new forks, stem and seat fitted 28/4
Post by: sid1972 on April 13, 2012, 03:52 PM

Hi folks,

got this a while back - from GAz. :smitten:  Been using it as a rider and I love it.

To say it looked was a little sad was an understatement, one break lug had snapped of and the frame was half stripped.
I was unsure how to paint the thing. :-\

kept changing my mind on colour so I decided to clean it up and burnish it a little.

New bits fitted... 14 mm s&m forks, challenger stem and primo seat.

I have sealed it with gun oil, because it dries fully and protects - I hoping as I apply more it will add more tone.  :D

I do like.

Gun oil you say. I'm thinking of stripping my RV and was wondering how to protect it. Other than a clear coat. How did you burnished the frame?

wire brushes in a drill, but only tickling the surface - then wet and dried it with 1000 grade, not using water, using WD40.

A clean with a cloth and then on with the oil.  ;)

Yes Sidney

I'm liking that.

Who did the Decals?

just needs a medium-big seat pointed upwards like Concorde landing and it will be there.

When we next seeing you Brother?

Keep the the one and only Faith. L

Like that Sid - so you lopped off the remaining 1&1/2 lugs - belting idea :)

Love the MK1 DB decals on the raw frame - always wanted to try that gun blueing on one......

Only thing (and it's just me) is I'd swap out that gold Profile Imperial and bang on something raw alu  :daumenhoch:

Looks awesome...

A sturdy frame that, but you've made it look like a sleek machine. Don't know if it's the finish/decals, the frame pad or whatever but it looks great. Good work.
