Some more pics would be nice

I have a hi-brite CAAD8 (or whatever they call it) - the clear-coated frame. As bad an idea as clear-coating an aluminum frame is, I think it's the best look on the CAAD's. I, personally, think that a polished frame is too much... although that Cervelo looks sharp. Have you ever ridden with a polished stem? The damn thing blinds you in the sun... I wouldn't want a whole frame too shiny to stand riding.

I also think that the Cervelo is too much.
My goal is a raw finish like of your CAAD8 and like Cannondale used to do for the System6, Six13 etc.

Stripped 110 gram paint of the fork and itś still heavy!

Enve 1.0

The fork is now uncut so I will save a lot by cutting +- 15cm off.
I don have the finace for a different fork by now since I still have to buy all the other parts.

Nice project. What do you use to remove the paint?

I used just two different types of paintstripper, one for the frame and one for the fork and a razorblade.



And a lot of patience......

Still not all the paint off the frame, but the weight is down to 1140

Looks like your projection was fairly spot-on. Nice!

After the paint comes off get it polished to a bright chrome.

Not so much progress on the frame, but I found some brakes to match when finished

any progression on this build?
