First off, its not showroom condition im going for here, im actually going to use this bike! so dont show off your own or boast that you have a one with a higher shine... i really do not care if i cant see my face in the metal. having said that, it does have a nice shine to it that im more than pleased with, its polished up well, but no its not as tidy as yours was :roll:
Second, yours sold for over a grand, whereas mine was £200 so id expect there to be a whole world of difference.... And would i pay an extra £800+ for your xizang frame?? No! not even if it was burning a very big hole in my pocket.

overly polished old stuff kind of reminds me of a scary 50 something cougar hanging out in a dodgy bar....
no offence intended to anyone here..

So noted that your tooting of how nice and shiny your was has been edited.
