May i ask whats the best way to achieve the same hight polish finish? What did you use and whats the secret? Looks awesome! I have a couple frames that need the same treatment...

Autosol metal polish, Tesco value (or similar) dusters and toothbrushes and lots and lots of elbow grease !!

I used 120grit for the deeper scratches etc then 800 1500 and 2000... Then t-cut metal polish

I got them from member cherrybomb, they were leftovers from his zaskar. The set was originally made up by Gil m i think.

Are You still riding yours?

Yeah, mine is still being ridden, it's a good feeling that nearly 4 years since it went together it is being used and really hasn't required any new parts other than a replacement chain! Makes my friends and brothers modern rides which need brakes bleeding and bearings changing look quite fragile when compared to the 21 year old Zaskar

The rest of the bits (forks and bars) where my choice to upgrade

Love the look of yours, would love to single speed mine as it looks really cool but I doubt it's for me
