Crikey they must be made of monkey metal!!

That's mainly why i lacquered mine, I soaked whole bike last weekend washing it and unfortunately ran out of light and could not finish it so was stood damp for 2 days, and its fine so hopefully that's the way to do it.

Cheers

compressor and it was holts it does make it slightly dull compared to frame but not that noticeable really, but it depends what you want yours to look like i suppose.

cheers i think i will go chrome in the long run but will just polish it back until then
