Corrosion

Hi guys.


I bought a lovely 1999 Specialized FSA the other day for £89 and have been cleaning up. But the Avid levers are corroded. They work fine, but look horrible. Apart from painting (which will cover up the logos on them) is there any other way to make them look better?

    if the logos are raised, paint then sand off paint on logos.

    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
  • I wish they were. No, just printed on the surface, so anything I do will rub them off. Doh !

    I don't think you can save the logos, paint them and see if you can get replacement transfers or stickers.

    How does it ride? Does the suspension work well. I would probably focus on servicing the suspension rather than worrying about the avid logos.
