I'm not looking forward to cleaning up these. I dont know if the pedal bodies are anodized or not so I am just gonna try tinfoil on the toeclips and autosol on the pedals.

Hi Stephen,

Great job with the pedals - perhaps we could have a RB Pedal Polishing competition.

Round One - Kettlo vs Ian Raleigh!!!

Outside pics are the next bit - between the showers and hail stones!!!!
