Hairy Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 once you have her cleaned up and stickered up consider giving her a coat or two of car polish to retain the sheen and not oxidize .... you may need to keep doing the car polish thing as part of your cleaning / maintenance routine. After doing some (depressing) calculations to see about a new bike, I decided to rather pimp up my old Zero29. I'd added a 120mm X fusion Trace fork a month or two ago, and have now ordered a set of carbon rims too. Finally, I want to polish the frame up again & put new decals on. So yesterday I stripped the bike down, ripped the old decals off and started sanding. Will post updates as I go. This is frame 006.

Mmm. I did a lot of research on this, and that's what I heard - high quality car polish over clear coat.

Pipsqueak Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Who did you get to do the decals for you?looks really goodI used the local Signzone. Asked for silver metallic. They're a little too similar to the frame, but I think the frame will darken a bit over time. The wheels made the biggest difference. They're 1650 grams and 25mm internal. Bike feels much more nimble now. Hairy, Tatt and Maknash 3

Will have a look and see what is on the bottom of the crank. Tom
