Title: Do you want to see My Rim...
Post by: eddie kidd on August 03, 2014, 10:34 PM: I bought an Aero Pro (i know, i know)...
I had one bitd, before i got converted to GT...

Anyhow, i didn't like the brake rub on the rim...

So i stripped it...

And it ended up like this...

I started again and sanded , and sanded, finer and finer...
A local company then tried to anodise it for me, but fooked it up...(loosing the will at this stage...)

But then, an Angel appeared before me...
So i sent it to her and she waved her magic wand over it and sent it back...

I laced it with some new spokes/nipples , and here it is in all it's glory...

"My Rim"...
