Purchased this from Minifreak, nice easy project to replace my wife's Bear Valley, will build up with DX to try and keep it close to original.
How I got it, good condition and no rust but in need of some tlc.
After 2 hours Saturday spent cleaning down and touching in all chips and scratches and another couple of hours today wet sanding and polishing I'm really happy with the results.
Also had a surprise when I got the frame out in the sun, it's not black! It's a really dark plum with red metallic, nice!
So now to get some forks sorted, but I'm never gonna match that paint unless I just go for black which will be close or a different colour with stem to match?
