Well up to the usual Dingo standard. Maybe there should be a standard mark, Mark, a bit like the BSI kite.

Nice build.  :daumenhoch:
I've got the same F&F but I've just stripped the blue paint yesterday ready for a good polishing

What is it like under the paint Del?
I had the same idea, I used to have a polished one but someone had butchered the drops so I sold it

 :) DINGO :)

Its a bit rough, but after an hour with 1500 wet and dry and then a brillo pad its come up quite nice, I had a go at polishing the rear chainstays before it rained and it came out like chrome! I'll pick up some autosol tomorrow and I'll take some pics when its done.

Dingo, I did a bit more polishing today, you can see the difference between the left of the frame and the rear right, this was using a polishing mop attached to a drill. (still no autosol)

Good work Dingo.

Me thinks the back end will be a little long for your we' stumps. You'll never get it to manual shorty! :2funny:

Are those 165mm cranks?  ;D

Cheers Dan,
took it out last week but it felt really long (1" longer rear end, 3/4" top tube than my Kappa and I am only 5'10", Shut it JJ  ;) ) I put a shorter stem on it and I am gonna try it out again on Saturday.it feels more like a cruiser  :LolLolLolLol:
It is really stable though
 :) DINGO :)
