Frame Follow Up
You all may remember that I stripped the paint off my Woodstock 707. Since everyone thought a brushed aluminum look would be better than painting it, I went ahead and got some advice from two people that I knew who has some experience with this stuff.
After talking with Randy and Khoa they suggested that I take some wet/dry sand paper and buff out any of the lines that were created when I was brushing the frame. For those of you that didn’t know, Khoa is totally obsessed with body finishes on cars and has been known to polish aluminum bike parts to the point where they look like mirrors. Randy did some work on his old Mustang in which he was able to get any of the aluminum parts to look like glass too.
So I drove down to the local Wally World and got myself a 2000 grit wet/dry paper and went to town on the frame.
I treated the down tube and check out the mirror finish!
was that all? did you clear coat it? did you build it back up?..
The bike was rebuilt into a full suspension single speed.
