Finally got the frame prep finished today.
Gave the frame a good flush through with wd40 earlier on in the week, to get rid of the old grease that had got pushed down the seat tube and the small rust patches that had formed.
Onwards to today, wd40 has dried up leaving the inside of the frame looking surprisingly good! Now it was time for a light coating of Dinitrol ml on all of the tubes. Going to leave it a few days to dry up leaving behind just the waxy coating.
It’s now definitely ready for the final build, it’s taken me so much longer to get to this point and there is still a few ideas and things I want to change out in the future. As soon as the stridsland barnacle forks are out one of those will go on here for sure! But for now it’s all ready to build, now to play the waiting game on the last few components arriving and the wheels to be built!
