Now do ya think me ripper needs flights or will she get away with a opc?
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/s213/munners1975/Frame1007.jpg)



I hope ya like. I may dip the Haro in that oxalic acid stuff just to get the slight pitting off and then give her a polish up. Does anyone know if it will take the decals off? If it does then i will just have to use me elbow grease and polish it with autosolvol.

Cheers Nick. :daumenhoch:

Nice Gen 1 Munners  ;)

The Ripper looks real good  :4_17_5: , IMO single pinch flights or Gen 2 Profile cranks if budget is there but if not OPC with a real nice disc & Tuf Neck chainring set up  :daumenhoch:

Has the Ripper been restored ? , looks real clean .
Title: Re: The postmans arrived! Phew.
Post by: munners on June 08, 2007, 11:30 AM
Not restored. Just polished the life out of it and gave it new decals.

nice rides , i keep coming home with stuff and telling the wife its to sell :2funny: and then its stored away untill she forgets , lucky for me mine dont cost that much with it being burners.
did you use the ovenpride to strip the mx ?
Title: Re: The postmans arrived! Phew.
Post by: munners on June 08, 2007, 07:47 PM
I ovenprided the dx's for about 5 mins in total. I gave them a little rub in the bag just to get the solution going. I then took them out and cleaned them straight away. There was a little left on them but only a little, so i put them back in the bag for 2 mins. I got them out, washed them and polished them with autosolvol then soaked them in hot soapy water. Dried them and there you have it.  :daumenhoch:
