So I stripped the frame and went for a phosphate treatment and Matt lacquer. The phosphate will act as a barrier to rust but also discolour with age, a better option to Lacquering straight over raw steel. I've added a close up to show how the discolouring is already happening. Kept most of doms finishing kit, changed the saddle and crankset putting the camo AArn I managed to get my hands on. Stoked :)
Ribmo are great, had them in 35 and 32 on my G all year round. They may not roll as nice as Paselas but still very nice and lasts a lot longer with better grip in the wet.
May have one 35 left if you want it, ex front.
