Hi,
Can someone give me any feedback on my idea to strip my aluminium frame and ride it without any paint or coating?
I've heard differing reports about whether this is a good idea or not. Has anyone done this and do you have any tips? I understand that the surface gets burnished after a while and needs regular polishing. Is that right?
Also, what's the best way of striping the frame?
I could take it to Mario Vaz and get him to do it cheaply, or I could use Nitromors. Is Nitromors ok on an alu frame?
thanks for any help.
Ives
