    That's a pretty cool bike,

    and I say keep it...thay way next time you run into a ravishing naked chick in the middle of the road, she won't have to ride with you, but alongside you. Without any pants this would be much more sanitary imho...

      Wheels.... a friend of mine has a goo made of some phosphoric acid, some rather nasty mix of dishwasher liquids and some other stuff. Just don't leave it on for more than a minute
      If it's not rust, any dishwashing liquid would do... spray it on, then clean with a high powered water jet... to get the goo off. Just dont use it around bearings.
      And keep the bike.... If I ever come to the states I'll borrow it for a spin.

        Dan,
        I've been happy with plain old crome polish. I think I've got a bottle of the Turtle Wax product, but most work well. I use a terry cloth (towel) for cleaning. It seems to help with scrubbing and won't leave scratches.
        Cool looking bike.

            Re: dragon

            Anything's possible. I've not planned anything for the summer yet as my job seems to be kind of up for grabs...they are trying to outsource IT functions here (that's a laugh). I'll keep my eyes open. I've got to ride somewhere this summer!

              I just had a wiring day on my project bike thats not mine anymore. Will post some pics. Hate the spaghetti. Theres a gazillion connectors left and I don't know where to connect them.
              So... watch out for projects... they make take time. And nerves. Of wire!
