It's a bit slower than 5 minutes for me !!! Now have all the grades of wet / dry paper you instructed and am raring to go. I'll post up some pics as it unfolds.
It's also an opportunity to change the headset and BB as I'd been planning anyway so I can kill a few birds with one stone here.
This has really motivated me - thank you
Love your bikes btw and if mine turns out like that......:-)

Many thanks for your comments. Why dont you start a thread with the original bike, frame and a midway so that we can see the end result.

Well, like I said the bike is now stripped of parts and I've only half the paint left on the frame so if any of you want to see that I need to take a pic before I do anything else, work out how to post a new thread and then start. Sorry if i've moved in on yours - not my intention and certainly no offense meant. I'll start a new one. ( i'll work that out later ! )
I only signed up today to the forum spurred by your posts.
I was going to have the bike sand or grit ( or something ) blasted and painted.....then I stumbled on your work.
Thanks again

He said "Where?" I don't think I will tell him... Blind optomitrist usually go out of business quickly.
