I have some very good red alloy hubbed tuffs, I want to know how to clean them up. They dont need blasting or dyeing just a good clean ???

They'll never be clean best thing to do is sell them to me  >:D

Or stick em in the dishwasher on a longest setting














While the Mrs is out or it may cost you 50% of what you own  :shocked:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)
