    Wtd: Lo Rise XC bar

    Ones I sold for £35 had 1 small scratch,otherwise mint.Original RRP was over £100.Paid £35-ish for them a few years ago.They seem to be up for £35-£40+ in fair condition,25.4 can be a bit trickier to find.

    Captain Cowell's '92 Alpinestars Cro Mega DX

    You’re welcome.The Metal Polish does 85% of the work and gives an awesome shine if you just want to buy one. The High Shine does just give it that little bit more.Both have the sealer built in and seems very resilient. Around £20 a bottle each,think I found mine on Amazon,bottle of...

    Captain Cowell's '92 Alpinestars Cro Mega DX

    No problem!G3 takes a bit of working to strip ano which is why I shift most with wet n dry,but I prefer to go that way n take time rather than hitting it with a 40 grit flapper disc! White diamond is more liquid,similar to Brasso.It'll still create a lot of blackening so wouldn't say it's less...

    '94 Marin Indian Fire Trail Restored,mint.

    ....she wouldn't let me! 🙄😂 I made the assumption there that you're Northern.And therefore it's totally normal/expected to hear an offensive remark from a fellow Northerner (who you've never met).Hope that's the case! And thanks for the comments👍.

    I just bought an automatic rear mech!?

    That's a new one on me! I'm sure that'll be a bit of fun if nothing else.Or maybe it'll cause so much friction it doubles as an automatic brake! Looking forward to hearing how that goes.
