The frame looks good! Nice job polishing it up!
The Syncros Revs look great on it. I think they add a bit more coolness factor than the newer forged cranks.

*ugh* removing the old decals is such a PITA… takes forever.

head/seat tube ones removed… fresh seat tube one in place.

next to do are the long down tube decals.

Re: Rocky Mountain "Syncros" Expérience

did i mention that removing the old decals was a ROYAL PITA??? :evil:

had to meticulously and painfully shave the down tube decal off with a thin blade craft knife. it was too thin and fragile/brittle for me to be able to lift and peel any good amount off. after shaving, i used some solvent to take off the glue residue, then buffed scratches out with some rubbing compound, and finally wipe clean with some soap and water.

drive side complete, now on to the non-drive side… another day. :roll:

Looks very nice!
Yes, taking off old decals are a pain! Did you try heating them up first before removing them? I always use a hair dryer and blast them with hot air and they peal off much easier.
