its ok paying people to do things for you but you cant beat restoring something yourself  :daumenhoch:.
all you end up doing otherwise is bolting new parts on a frame and i cant really see the fun in that as you can build a bike in 30 mins if you take your time  ;D.

good effort rog  :)

Top effort there dude, tempted to get a cookery kit together myself from them links. Top research and good luck with future efforts.  :4_17_5:

Awesome work Fog  :4_17_5:

Always loved Chemistry at school too  :smitten:


So obviously you'd need a bigger container and more acid to do a set of rims ,
,, but what about the power supply  would that still be capable of supplying sufficient current to still be successful  ?  ???

How much ampage is specified  :)

look forward to seeing further experiments  :coolsmiley:

If any of you have got kids that go to secondary school, get them to swipe a power supply from Physics or Chemistry (they may be able to get hold of some sulphuric acid to) :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: Then expect a knock at the door from a member of   M.ilitary I.ntellegence 6   :police: :police:

Crazy Craig has a DK stem, Pro neck Chainring and Hutch pedal cages that need anodising.  I'm sure you wouldn't mind sorting them out for him.   :10_2_12:






























Sorry, couldn't resist.   >:D
