[Peachy!]

Right on with the rims... Kin Lin... isn’t that somewhere in Norfolk?

Anodising looks ok, just need a deep clean with some Bar Keepers Revenge.

Tough on stains. Tough on the causes of stains.

You're not wrong there, but then you are an educated fellow

Can’t be arsed to start on the 48 spoke crossed 4 times wheel builds yet... :|

Thought I’d play with something a bit more fun, namely a rough arsed Haro saddle in desperate need of some Peachy TLC

 

[Peachy!]

Soft bit came out fine and most of the scratches in hard base are now gone, just need hours of painstaking polishing to get the plastic back to black. :|

 

[Peachy!]

Pleased with this one.

 

[Peachy!]

That’s the front done, looking forward to getting the rear done so that I never have to lace a 20” 48 spoke crossed 4 times wheel again l :|

 

[The History Man]

If these things were easy they wouldn’t be worth doing.






By the way I won’t lace wheels. Not worth doing.

 

[The History Man]

Great work restoring the saddle. I have high hopes..............

Ta, I find this saddle work strangely satisfying, so much so I’m thinking about restoring a B15 Brooks Swallow next

Obviously not for a BMX :facepalm:
