I just wish the rest of it was ready to prime, where all those tubes meet around the bottom bracket, not to mention the steering tube has a welded mount for the detangler/gyro, it's frustrating to get a world class sanding and scuffing on the chrome in those tight places. I'm almost tempted to try to remove the pressed in bearing races. Don't have a tool for that. I am pleased with the results on those frame dropouts though, enough that it might persuade me to be impatient on the other things. I know it seems like I'm being a perfectionist, but I figure living thru this hell once is the last time I want to go thru it. And it would truly s*ck if the paint started to come loose in a year or two, maybe even sooner because I didn't try hard enough or stay true to demanding more from myself, when I can easily make the effort at this point.
