While some folks don't like the hacking, I think you did a great job on the bike, it's a lot cleaner now. Every thought about wire brushing it? RobbieTunes

Yeah i guess there's always that thing about wrecking nice old frames but at the end of the day I've scene these sell cheaply on ebay. Yes I probably could have taken a little more time to wire brush some of those black tarnish sort of marks, but I really just ride it to the pub and round to the shops etc so i kinda like the beat-up cheap look. Plus hopefully less chance of it being stolen...
