my new klein frame turned up....what to do with it?

[zetecmk2]

not a lot to look at....just a polished frame. i'll put my phone on charge and try to get some pics up later. this alloy is hard to polish......believe me, i've polished a few! the metal is darker and granier!!

 

[zetecmk2]

still needs more polishing

Looks very cool. What did you use to polish it?

 

[The History Man]

Keen to know how you got that finish?

 

[zetecmk2]

800 then 2000 wet n dry, then 3m fastcut with the mop.pretty fast.....now i will ultrafine it by hand...that is all it's getting! it looks tidy, but no queen!

Nice job.

all built at last. only needed a 1" quill stem for the last 2 weeks. got an ebay bargain.....but when it turned up, the wedge was missing! just bit the bullet and bought an adapter to 1 1/8" ahead stem......jesus, i never buy anything new!!
