    Shot blasting

    you are better chemically striping it. but as said, it will not stay shiny for long and clear coating a polished frame is a hiding to nothing.

    Sorted I need a fork, I need many things, I digress.

    I'll take a look tonight. unlikely to be a straight blade though. assuming V or canti mounts rather than caliper or disc?

    Sold On one inbred frame, black, 16 inch

    I don't need another. Also, vertical drips. Still a fantastic frame but I like horizontals, they allow a 27.5 easier. Good luck with the sale to the OP.

    I thought WIP was work in progress. But the term Whip comes from horses I think, in which case, I'm going to start using the term "fillie".

    Innovations that are no more but maybe still should be

    I think it's pretty safe to say that there isn't a modern invention without something with a similar function or purpose already existing.
