Love it!

Did Gollum help with the polishing or just the photography?
Thank you! Well mostly just a guest appearance in the pic but it’s hard to deny it takes a little bit of insanity to do these things. 😅

Speaking of insanity removing the paint from this frame is pure pain.

My turn to play in the Easy Off. Can was flat so had to puncture it with a screwdriver and dump it out.

My tips. Warm weather.. Keep the parts wet as long as you can. Tub works good as you can use a paintbrush to keep reapplying it. These were black anodized.

Then the usual treatment.

Thank you brother. Was a real terd in the punch bowl today with the skewers. Decided to polish the originals but they got a little beat during dis-re-assembly.

Had bought a set of skewers for this but wasn’t sure about them. After polishing the hubs I tried them on and remembered they had titanium axles. 😃 Titanium is almost as cool as rust. Lighter and better action so that was a lot of tedium for nothing.

Here they are.
