So i got bored of the winter green paint job and pedestrian feeling fork on my 2008 Langster and decided to switch the fork out for a straight blade carbon job as well as a new paint job.
I stripped the frame down with nitromors (approach with caution) and got into the welds with a coarse wire wool from a hardware store. The end result was pretty impressive but i was concerned about the alloy oxidising so i decided to get the frame powder coated bright red (like an old rockhopper i had as a kid) and it turned out pretty well considering i only paid €50...I swapped out the old brake levers with shimano 600's and i taped the bars up with white cork tape to finish her off. The bike is looking pretty sweet so i'll post some pictures on here to (hopefully) inspire anyone who is considering a rejuvenation project for their bike.
