And now I've just scored a NIB silver Eno Eccentric hub for £75...looking good.

That was a very nice buy now sell me your Guyzer

 

[Harryburgundy]

Eno Cranks, new wheels...might just be nice

That looks fantastic buddy what do the period decals look like? The ones on it look good IMO nice and understated.

98 Decals are like Mr Zeros, oh, and the ones on mine.

Excellent...thanks Cass. Might need some advice re:removing whats on there
(will 'sticky stuff ' remover be OK)...being a nervous with Ti, can you stain it :?
What do you use to polish Ti frames?
Cheers

I used a hair dryer to get the ones of my old Hei Hei and then cleaned with alcohol wipes, you can't stain it as far as I know.

I've used ScotchBrite to polish mine, can give it a satin /matt type finish, I think it depends on what finish you want, my last one was bead/sand blasted and had a lovely matt finish.

If you wanted a perfect finish I'd take it to be blasted before you put the decals on, I'd do the same with mine but the decals are the originals and it would be a shame to take them off.
