I picked up this Condor Alu Pista frame and fork from Ev the other day and spent an entire evening peeling off duct tape and cleaning up what was beneath. Other than the cable stops having been crudely hacked off from the underside of the top tube the paint job by 'Winter' is in relatively good condition.
Earlier today I took a dremel to the ragged edges of what were the cable stops and I'm about to chuck a tin of Nitromoors over it and proceed to wet sand and polish. I've ordered a new set of decals and head badge from Belinda at Condor and depending on how I feel about the polished finish I may or may not dabble with a DIY spray job. I have some left over rattle cans from paint I had mixed up for a car related project so it would be cost effective. It would mean I'd have a matching colour scheme with the vehicle which could either look marvellous or wank. Decision time is not yet upon me. Alternatively I may just drop it off to Armourtex for black powdercoat. (Decals have been ordered in white).
As it was the other day
