I had my hubs soda blasted and like you say, they weren't perfect. A bit of rub and buff and wahoo, like new hubs. Then there was the cost of stainless spokes and getting the rims polished. Now to find some new discs and tires/tyres. I don't have Melvilles patients to do it myself.

If you have patients to do it, then you don't have to do it yourself.

I had a wet suit, I have a rainsuit. I also have a Pierre Cardin suit for weddings, funerals and pranking straight people. I've never had a lawsuit. I guess that about sums it up. Does that suit you? Oh yeah, does ATTGATT, ie. padded jacket and pants count as a suit?
