    I have experimented with a spray called PlastiKote on one front fork, I took it right back to shiney steel, primed it with their primer and gave it 2 coats of gloss and it looks fantastic, realy superb finish. I will do the other fork and the frame and see how it looks before assembly, I took the old paint off in no time using a disk from B&Q that looks like plastic mesh £8 and very easy to use in the drill. I will post pics soon, there is not a lot to see.

    On another issue, I have fitted a new small end bearing and new piston and gudgeon pin, I think the fit is too tight, the piston does not freely rock, it all felt prety loose before assembly but once I drew the small end bearing in the gudgeon pin is prety tight, is this usual, or should I strip it and get a new bearing.
