Success.
The chrome shrouds on the forks are off and the forks are dismantled.
Stanchions off for rechroming early next week.

Picked up the powder coating today.

Looks good, I'll post some pics when it's unwrapped.

Hubs back tomorrow and returned to the wheel builder.

Nice to start seeing where all my cash has gone.

Got the 350 wheels back today.
Tried to post some pictures but no luck.

Blimey Bryan, I think you may need to update your windows version. Back when Noah were a lad.

Try FastStone Photo Resizer, its fairly old software but easy to use and works on all windows versions. Use the advanced option to re-size. Does batch conversion easily. And its completely free.

And your whites come out dazzlingly clean!

Just read that back and it sounds like a used car salesman's pitch. Sorry. ;D

can't update without losing loads of software/info mate as windows 7 rewrites just about everything

I didn't use an app to shrink the pictures. Just uploaded from my iPad as I've done before. Can't say why they wouldn't upload before?

That's weird Tim. The photo's on here are 150k smaller than the one's you emailed me. That put them just under the 1mb limit so they uploaded okay. Must be an iPad thing?

Started to have a look in the engine this afternoon. To my untrained eye it's looking fairly decent so far. Not sure if I'll get any further this week, but it is progress.

Well after 3 weeks away its back to the grindstone.

Forks should be back together by the end of the week.
Hopefully I'll hear from the chromers this week and pick a box of goodies I dropped off before I went away.

Should get back to dismantling the engine too and there is still the matter of painting. But that's for another day.
