I wasn't hopeful

when the parcel chap came out the back of his van with this

Closer inspection didn't make things any better

But it looks to be fine.. no dents (a novelty for me), mech hanger included, XT cranks, STX front mech and some natty blue pedals..

Looks like I got me a Zaskar to build. . .

nitromors and a polish

I like that orange. . . but not on that frame, I gotta say...

It still has that lovely red ano underneath that Ford Focus orange but I don't know how I could remove the orange and save the red... ...

very careful nitromors and a plastic scraper

looks okay in the orange ian

s/s or gears ?

1 x 9 methinks...

only thing I'm really not sure on at the mo is bars, stem and seatpost.

I like them to match

Do I recall correctly that Nitromors doesn't strip anodising??

Looks kinda nice in the gold/orange that my laptop's throwing out at me...

If the red ano's been painted over, then surely it would've been rubbed down for a decent key to the primer/paint? :?

notromors wont touch anno.

from the area you can see around the seat clamp, it doesnt look like it has been keyed at all

Tried to get pics of the ano that is visible, failed, but it's got a lovely shine to it :?

So.. Nitromors, soft scraper for the bulk of it, toothbrush for the welds...

If it stayed orange it'd need touching in, want this one to start out good, not a bit tatty
