Title: Hoffman Condor frame.
Post by: magna13 on February 01, 2009, 02:05 PM: Right, i have a Hoffman Condor frame with a built in seat clamp and the bolt and thread where the bolt goes in has some surface rust. wanna clean it up just to make it look a lil bit nice... how do i get rid of it??

P.S. the bb cups had same type of rust but i went round the BB cup hard with a peice of tissue and it came off!
