And here's my latest work. FAGGIN road frame from the late 80's I believe. I'm not sure what tubing it has either. It serves as my daily commuter/beater. My favorite part on this bike are the Mavic MA40 rims on Dura Ace hubs. The frame was rusting so I decided to sandblast and paint it. The color is Mazda's Titanium Gray, which is one of the best car colors in my opinion. And now I have it on a bike:

I just bought a used TCR and was thinking about removing the decals/striping and clear coating it. Any chance you might elaborate on what sort of sand paper you used as well as the clearcoating process? Both your bikes look really great. Understated and really tasteful. Thanks for posting them.
