JonMack Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Dunno if this has been in here but I'd not seen it so here we go.... Here's mine, the frame is 1732 gramm after the modding (it was 2010g), made by a very good of mine. http://kep.tar.hu/cphun/50550318#2 So clean!

JonMack Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Save all that weight then add more with paint? f**k that, shot blasting and anodizing is the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Save all that weight then add more with paint? f**k that, shot blasting and anodizing is the future. The past! The future is all about brightly coloured fluro paint jobs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it remove the paint? Try it and see, I would have thought so if it took it off the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Sand blasting can be ok with alu frames, just gotta have a person that know what they are doing do it otherwise can do a lot of damage to the welds and such. Using bead blasting would be much more ideal, gives a lovely finish aswell. Still can't believe he did the headtube with a grinder lol Edited July 3, 2008 by ZeroMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
