Hi all,

What materials/process can I use to patch up:

i) minor frame scratches
ii) more significant areas (several square cm)?

Am concerned about long term rusting (though I suspect the rust won't be

the
first thing to kill this bike, so maybe I'm concerned about it looking
pretty???)

Cheers
Stuart


Let's say I sand, prime, spray, and lacquer my bike myself (because the
bike was cheap and so am I) - how could I apply some good-looking

lettering?

Would Letraset(TM) work? Are there other suitable lettering systems?
Presumably you would stick the letters on before lacquering? Anyone
tried this or have any ideas?


You could try decopaje (sp?) on the bike - would make it interesting and
you'd get in good with your aunties ;-)

Yes, I can see that some decoupage on my frame would really strike fear
into the hearts of the opposition on the start line!
