Another post to bump the thread until I have a proper milestone passed. The frame is draining right now so in the mean time I'm cleaning up and doing maintenance on all the parts.
I've also decide since I'm already at it I'm going to go all out and polish up all the bare aluminum parts. The stem in the pic, seat post and crank. The seat post especially is pretty scratched up. I'll also be posting my progress with that.
Thank you for reading my blog post.
>>1944230Thanks for the tip mate. I had ready up on what to do and the general consensus seems to be that these frame savers are a bit of a meme and not a long-term solution.
