Aaaah man that is so sweet!!!
I was almost converted to the powdercoating but now I've seen this...
OMG how cool is that !?

Did you do it yourself?
How, what machinery did you use (drill/angle grinder)?

Seriously though polished frame + carbon everything else = major

I did it all by hand with sandpaper except the rough cast bits I used a palm sander. Worked my way through sandpaper grades up to 1200 and then took it to a guy with all the polishing gear, he uses various size calico cloth wheels with different grades of tripoli compound. I could of polished it myself but after all the sanding I was sick of looking at it. Its been gone the past 8 weeks while the lazy git took his time doing it, I demanded it be done by this weekend and I guess he finally finished it, sucked tho cause I found another place that coulda done it for the same price, but been finished in about a week. Oh well live and learn

Now you know why its taken a tad bit more than 3 weeks

[Schussboelie]

You got the Hyperpro rear shock steering damper and front forks?


No way

[Rupes]

The hyperpro stuff has gotta come from Holland via England so another 3 weeks for that (2weeks for manufacture and at least one for shipping) fingers crossed, but the gixxer forks should be here tuesday

[Schussboelie]

That must have cost a fortune!

Rupes, which bank was it you robbed?

Those pieces look so sweet.

That frame looks amazing, and thanks for NOT being like the eBay tea kettle guy who was naked when he took the pics!
