Most blasters use glass beads. Sand blaster are only usually used for heavy industrial stuff.
Not true.

Most blasters can use both beads and sand.

Update on the LoPro. Sorry for the crap picture, will get some proper ones done when it's finished, hopefully next week.
Just waiting for the Italian Lockring, some black bar tape and some new allen key skewers to come in the post (damn strikes!).Before:
Now:
It's an ambrosio disc wheel, running 53:16 as a magic ratio (I know, but I can handle it!), will probably rebuild the front wheel radial at some point. Pretty happy with how it's coming together. It's an awesome bike to ride.
really nice looking. I love huge gear ratios. I used to ride a 52x16 for years. When i had the right song on i could really hit ridiculous speeds for about 3 minutes and 33 seconds, yar, then huff puff lets take it easy slow down i think i'm gonna die. I rode it brakeless. Does that count for anything?
edit: actually looking at your pedals, be careful with that ratio steep of a ratio. I snapped the retention bar on two occasions. Once stopping and once climbing a hill.

there's the thing, if it bend, chance are it'll bend the downtube as well as likely to damaged the lug, and who know, the headtube end up bending to the point that the front wheel touch the downtube and instantly flip the rider over the bar catapulting a simple £75 repair to a £200 (estimate) repair or worse, beyond repair.
a bit of an unlikely situation, but still.
i just want to ride the bike, kapish?
if it goes it goes ffs, no more spending money

Fantastic bike. I just wet my pants.
But how can you live with Cornelo labelled straps?
NOS Binda's are not that expensive. Okay, the right colour may be hard to find.Stem 13 cm from here ?
Quite pricey, but maybe you don't mind...
He's also on Ebay.Please take the valve caps off and angle the bars a bit down ;-)

its been a while mr. TSB.
lovely bike again. you do have excellent taste.
welcome back.scobled- If you don't fit hammered honjos, I might hunt you down and feed you to chipmunks.
Sorry it's not fixed! A couple of pics of my bike i'm changing bits on but trying to keep an old school look to - groupset is Dura Ace EX from the early 80's - if anyone knows the year this came out i'd be interested to know.
Thanks
