    1991 Titanium Litespeed build thread

    Polish is probably too strong of word. How about “buff by hand” I like to clean frames up well before applying Gil’s decals. There’s a few scratches/scrapes of Patina that buffing won’t get. My build goal is always get the bike to as new as possible with the least amount of money.
