gt update & question
Hi ,just a quick update and thanks for the help so far.
Frame now polished see pic for results wet n dry1500, scotchbrite green with cleaner paste then autosol. finshed with polishing mop no substitute for elbow grease.once degreased then decals
& Megulars polish
Decals/ transfers on the way from Gil-m (thanks)
Going the elastomer route thanks on order. See how they go might swap for my old Pace r36`s
Tyres for now getting fire xc pro blue wall but have spotted new panaracer 2.0 Timbuk II skinwall from 1st flight bikes usa so might get them.
Once all the bits are in can get rebuilding.
Quick question crank is Shimano m730 5 bolt and old rings are SG C 36 etc CRC have shimano SGX 5 bolt 110mm replacement rings are these compatible?
Cheers

Cheers buddy ,went well today on my commute, trail way and cycle path .
Defo quicker than the full sus rig liking the ride although the stem is mighty long but hey cuts down the wind resistance ( is this the way we used to ride)
What next ? going to enjoy it and see how sketchy it feels out in the wilderness
