Beautiful man

He probably is, but I don't think he's your type.

 

[Doomanic]

He probably is, but I don't think he's your type.

I thought BamBam was TrySexual; boys, girls, sheep, he'll try anything once.

 

[Doomanic]

Those welds look effing ugly without paint. Are you going to smooth them at all?

 

[Dave_B]

No, just polish.

 

[JP-NZ]

Looking good Dave!

 

[Dave_B]

Seat stay ready for polishing.
Will be wet drying the frame tomorrow.

 

[Dave_B]

Frame has now been wet & dry’d.

Everything is ready for polishing tomorrow.

Looking very nice I'm excited to see it shiny

 

[Zimmerframe]

I didn't know Autoglym had branched out into cooking supplies ..

 

[Dave_B]

Yeah, it’s lovely on chips.

 

[Lee c]

This is going to look awesome !!

 

[irie]

Must be something wrong with me, I think it looks really really ugly.

Sorry.

 

[Doomanic]

It's not just you. I think it's going to look banging when it's done but at the moment I can't see past those awful robot welds.

It's not just you. I think it's going to look banging when it's done but at the moment I can't see past those awful robot welds.

I think it looks pretty good in those previous pics, I'd be tempted to just leave it in that state.

 

[Dave_B]

Nah, it looks shit at the minute. It only starts to look good when polished.

 

[irie]

It's not just you. I think it's going to look minging when it's done but at the moment I can't see past those awful robot welds.

Agree with you.

 

[Dave_B]

After one polish.

 

[Mteam]

Are you going for the full cylon look?

 

[Dave_B]

If I can find some side to side LED’s then yes.

 

[Dave_B]

Second polish with what I think is a 3400 pad. It is as good as it will get.

Night and day different to just the wet sanded alloy.

Awesome job so far!
Can you tell me if the hole for the screw that holds the TCU in the top tube is a threaded insert/river or the actual frame is threaded? I have a mate who has a new levo and the screw is spinning, can’t tighten or loosen it
