'08? So they're about as vintage as this?

These are from 2008. You should see the engineering close up, it's awesome. Plus many awards from European mtb mags are good enough for me. The AMPs however were a different matter, as wobbly as fuck. Tried them once and they didn't inspire confidence...
Happy New Year All.
I finished the Attitude resto yesterday. It's been quite a process... Very happy with the result.

Geat job, that was an awesome bike in it's day, and still looks great today. I'm impressed that you even have a like new pair of Dart & Smoke in the Magic colour! I have a set of these tyres but they are perished and are now ready for the tip. Thanks for sharing. Seeing the old Klein brings back some memories of the good ol days of mtb.

Do yourself a favour and download sprung 4 and 5 after watching this.

I recently picked up an older bike and did a search for restoration and cleaning etc but couldn't find much useful information. As most of you deal with 'older' bikes on a regular basis I was wondering if you could possibly share some tips on the best ways to restore frames/components.
I'm mainly interested in ways to remove rust and pitting and restore shine to chrome/silvers parts and of course the frame. I am reluctant to fully repaint the frame as the original decals are still in reasonable condition but I would like to make it sparkle/shine again if its possible.
I was going to make a new thread but thought I would try here first, if I'm in the wrong spot please feel free to direct me elsewhere.
Cheers
a couple more oldies.
