What's the dilemma? They look great, like the bike has been ridden

Keep!

If I remove, I’ll leave the scuffs and scratches

Dilemma time! Do I keep or remove the anodizing?

I would remove it, two different kinds of red (frame and pedal) don't make a good picture in my eyes.

I think that’s what started me questioning if I should keep them or not. Right remove it is I trip to Morrisons to buy some oven cleaner

I’ll post the results later

Happy with the results
Oven Pride cleaner, 15 minutes in the solution and agitating with an old brush. Then rinse under a cold water tap.

Good result.

1992 Specialized Stumpjumper. Found mostly stock (except for tires and sticky grips). Converted to "dad's bike" for when we visit the in-laws.

I like that:
-it's one of the few if not the only Stumpjumper with eyelets for racks
-the original catalogue said it could accommodate 2.5" tires. Not so sure about that, but it can accept 2.25" tires and mudguards easily, not bad for an early 90's bike...
