Hi all, thought I would share my latest project, I bought this Giant Frame of eBay for £50, it was a bit scratched up and Pink , yes pink!! So I made the decision to go for the raw aluminium look. This soon became more of a job than I thought, I tried high strength paint stripper, didn't really touch it, ended up spending a whole week of evenings scraping and sanding to remove the paint, even wet and dried the carbon forks, turns out they were Time forks (really nice) I clear coated these with new decals, turned out great. I am really happy with the way the frame turned out and its really light to :)
Finish the build with Campag Kamsin wheels, Time mono link stem, deda zero bars, Campag groupset, Time carbon seatpost with carbon saddle, all topped of with hope skewers, headset seat clamp and spacers, Time Pedals. It is a 60cm frame and it came in at 7.4kg. I am really happy with the way it turned out and it rides really nice.

So what do you all think?

Looks smart, really like the look of raw aluminium! Saddle looks like it abit nose down or it might be the angle of the picture.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
