On my last build, I became pretty proficient with buffing aluminum -- first, by doing everything dead wrong; next, by exerting 3-4 times as much effort to fix my mistakes and do it right. Something about 'wheels' and 'buffing compound.' Didn't sound like it mattered, but ... live and learn.
At some point I learned there are differences between polishing and buffing and it's always best to start light and then see how things go. My Colnago project included relacing with new rims and I took the hub accessibility as my best chance. This was just Mother's and lots of rags.
Did you post pics of your GT on BF.net? If so, got a link for me? I'd love to see it.
Had to be somebody else. My last project was the spousal Fisher, now living its best city life. Little small for me but fits the kid.
Too cold outside for my fingers to even think of handling tools. And yet, more projects await.
