WOULD IT BE WRONG TO....

[slimjoe]

POLISH the living snot out of a previously BEAD BLASTED TITANIUM frame :?:

I have one, and cant make my mind up if it would ruin the look with a blingy shine..

Ive attached 2 pics of the left and right chainstays..Right side is a quick basic polish, which does shine more than the pics show..

Left side is the standard BEAD blasted finish which is sort of satin finish and very low key :?

Please post your thoughts and end my dilemna :roll:

Well, not really a dilemna just like to gather others thoughts

ooh I like the shine, but there is a danger it'll look like regular aluminium. At least satin titanium looks like only one thing.

Maybe you should sell the frame and spend the $$$ on some photography lessons?

shine is nice but have to agree with orange 71 and take no notice of that PHOTO COMMENT hes just jelous because he cant afford a TI FRAME as he's from the one of the upper american states

ERM!!

Maybe you should sell the frame and spend the $$$ on some photography lessons?

2 seconds of my time with camera off my phone

Actually they differ hugely from my cellphone pix in that they don't feature a large close up of one of my fat fingers.

Next question..

Yes, i aggree with the comments about SATIN vs SHINY finish..

Think if polished may even cheapen the look of the frame :cry:

Now all i gotta do is seek out a bead blasting shop

Thanks also for the photography advice

Hahaha... but polished frames aren't as usual as bead blasted ones
I prefer the cheaper polished look...but my favourite is painted Ti.

Leave it with the satin finish......it's just how a ti frame should be.
