GT Xizang (polished or brushed?)

[gaf16]

the Xizang is due back from it's repair next week.
the original finish was polished but, i prefer a brushed ti finish.
what do you think, should i have it repolished or brushed?

Brushed

Brushed. Polished will loose it's perfect finish, brushed is far more practical and looks more "Ti".

Another vote for brushed - if you want shiny you may as well get an inferior metal.

i would prefer brushed myself.
just guaging opinions with regard to moving away from the original finish.
i think the finished build would look better brushed but, i know some forum members will think i should keep to the manufacturers finish.

gt xizanges only ever came in polished. or painted in the team cases. it'll look like a cheapo gt lightning brushed. so its gotta be polished
ti loose its finish? polished ti looks good for donkeys years, believe me, I know

Agree with scant - if it was any other ti frame I'd say brushed, but yeah, polished on a Xizang! Though tis your bike and up to you... Some won't like that I'm going for a non-original colour on my Yo, but there you go...

Yos are different, they look cool in all colours ...what colour you thinking of? I've always thought the old audi S4 blue colour would look good on a Yo

unpolished xizangs gonna look like a lightning, gotta be polished

That'll be Nogaro Blue...

I've said once on here what colour I'm thinking of, but as no-one else has done that colour, I'm keeping quiet til it's done!



Apologies for OT!
