• Cheers lecky - I wasn't sure how far to take this - I'm not planning to respray the bike or anything like that so perfection was not the final goal, however I did want a clean slate so that any new rust will be visible and dealt with. I quite like the dull grey bits, certainly looks in-keeping with the rest of the bike, and as sandbag correctly states, the hiduminium bars come up to a mirror finish, so it's a nice combination of patina and bling!
