that guy is AMAZING! (not as amazing as the guy filming who clearly realises this is comedy gold...)

Easy solution, buy this:

in answer to your question, i have no idea, sorry...

looks fine to me...

have you got close ups of where the dents used to be? or are they completely seamless?

armourtex tapped my BB too (or just cleaned it out real nice)...

edit: just realised that that^^ is a quote, but oh well..

What colour is that from armourtex? 3003 by any chance?

and how come you took off the cable guides but not the derailleur hanger? (I just took all mine off and got it painted at aromourtex, if it had been a nicer frame, i would have left them...)

I'd love the chrome forks if you split!

$733.81 postage for me, its a steal!

'tis pretty sexy lookin tho..

^and the nuts and the lockring...
I can see why, they obviously didnt want to go overboard..

^that should have a thread of its own... even the music was wrong!

dibs campys, pm'ed.

Then leave him alone. It has fuck all to do with you.

That bike really is "speacil" as he put it...

and what looks like quite high gearing...

*as in really nice, not the colour similar to celeste...

3003 i'm afraid, it does look f**king mint tho!

that make its sound more stolen to me, more like bend in cog from where i broke the lock off,

who locks their cogs? there must be some really tough thieves up where you live..

yeah, they have most (all the colours they have in stock) on the wall... what colour are you thinking?

I think they are anodised...
I assumed he used the emery paper to remove it instead of caustic soda, wasn't very clear there, obviously it removes deeper marks, and sorry Malaysian, I'm pretty sure anodising doesn't happen over time and does indeed require electricity.
Saturday night, correcting people on the internet, when I'm not 100% sure anyway, dream big.

caustic soda didn't work, used same concentration that stripped my chainring ring in seconds, they only thing that started to react was the threads, not ideal... so promptly took it out and got to work with emery paper, not great for getting in the milled bits, but with a bit of elbow grease, i'll get there... also used autosol to polish it up, amazing stuff!

^that colour scheme makes me wretch...

that is disgraceful...

It depends on the type of paint you use for each, some clear coats are acrylic which may not work with enamel (not sure about this, may be best to ask the guys at the store or search online). i used some spray paint, then used the wrong type of clearcoat and it just stayed tacky, never really dried.. absolute nightmare to get off aswell!

i would advise testing on a piece of metal/plastic you have lying around.

Heres my newly polished campy strada crank arm. I was a bit nervous starting out on this, going at a crank with emery paper is scary! I'm really happy with how its come out though, so shiny!!
I thoroughly recommend anyone that has the patience to sit down for a couple of hours and sand away to do this, really comes up nice!

the tyre will be black soon. I bought the wheels with tyres. ;)
The headset had to be like this :(
I had two (a black one and a silver one). The black didn't fit the fork. This silver one did. But than the fork hasn't the same measure of "rosca" (sorry! don't know the english word)
i did not want to buy a new one so i had to work with what i had

ha, fair enough, we all have to make do somehow! would like to see a pic when its finished...

i like it apart from the half black headset, and the red tyre... looking fly though...

edit: the stell ^^
