Happy to help! Probably best to test it out on a throwaway part first, because different brands might be finer than others. Also recommend a real polish with something like Autosol after 🌟
I use scotchbright rather than steel wool. I also invested in an ultrasonic cleaner specifically for cleaning derailleur & brake parts. Good video, well done... 👍
Thank you! Yes, ultrasonic cleaners are also very useful, especially for the hard to reach areas 👍 Scotchbright is like the scratchy sponge I used on the cranks, right?
That’s got one of the best looking 105 groups IMO 👌 Love that rear derailleur. Just a small correction - those RSX100 shifters have got to be mid 90s. I can’t find an exact date on Velobase but it’s trickle down economics with Shimano. I’m pretty sure Ultegra went 8 speed with brifters in 91ish. That’s about when 8 speed was introduced. Maybe 92.
Thank you! Yes, agreed about the 105 group! That makes sense. I was pretty sure it must have had down tube shifters originally, but the customer told me that they were stock. Thanks for clearing that up! 🙌
Grill cleaning sponge is a fantastic idea! Will be using that at home from now on

@@bottoncino_bicyclesYes the White Scotch Bight is the equivalent of 0000 steel wool, so won’t scratch surfaces like lacquer. Really nice finish.
Another fantastic build. I love the way the high polish of the forks and stem contrast with the beautiful patina of the frame. Just gorgeous.
Thank you! Yeah, that really takes it from old bike to rat bike 🐀
Wow, what a transformation! 🤩 Nice work!
Thanks! 🙌
guter job. diese alten stahlrahmen sind einfach nicht tot zu kriegen. 💪 hoffe, die sattelstütze ist nicht fest.
Danke! 🙌 Nachdem die Sattelstütze ja eh schon passend für die Kundin eingestellt ist, wäre das in dem Fall fast sogar Diebstahlschutz 😅
