Oh!, it is the [IMG link], thanks!
I really just cleaned it, no polishing yet. Funny thing about the paint, when I first glanced at it in the store I thought the paint was all scratched up and ruined. When I got it home, I found that it was mostly left over adhesive from stickers - maybe somebody tried to make a "stealth bike"? And the rust came off easily with a little "Never Dull" but then as I got into it I noticed most of the "rust" came off by scratching my thumbnail over it. Odd, I am no CSI, but I think it was blood? Anyway, a few scratches and rust stains are still on the paint from the original pump and water bottle clamps, not much I can do about that without paint, but the chrome and aluminum can certainly be buffed up to a better shine. I won't sleep tonight thinking of putting some serious miles on this tomorrow, the short rolls around the neighborhood are already memorable.
