Fleabay I got mine from. Think it's about £7 for a 250ml tin.

Not sure how much elbow grease costs. Depends on time of year, enthusiasm and country of origin

Hi.

I am really impressed! I don't like GT but Your looks great.

I've polished a few parts in my life and I know how laborious is it.

Only steer tube is a little too long for me and it make Zaskar like "city bike"

Still thinking on a stem change, possibly a Raceface one.

Special thanks to Gil for puting up with my fussy sticker choices.

Got them from Fleabay, some dude in Taiwan I believe. Sealed bearings etc. Excellent quality too, was quite impressed.
