Anyone else got builds on the go? I should have the Kuwahara finished this week. Can't decide whether to spray the forks just now or not or evn leave as is.
Stripped the Rockhopper down this week, although I can't seem to get the cranks off My puller doesn't seem to fit, and I don't have a socket narrow enough to fit into the non-drive side to undo the bolt. Anyway, not the end of the world, really only wanted to take them off to give them a good clean.
Soooo frame cleaned and currently T-cutting. I have to admit, under the crud it's a fantastic deep shade of blue, must have looked great BITD. However, paint work really is shagged in places though - some nasty concentrations of chips right through to the metal that I can't really do anything about. Not sure what to do about it, maybe pickup a few cans at Halfords and try and get as close a match as I can?
Longer term, if gil has the decals on file, I'd consider a strip and powdercoat to as close to original colour as possible. If this happens, would also like some nice pink hubs
