Will post up pics etc for sure - should be building next week, just waiting on the delivery of cranks, chainring and need to buy pedals now...

I just bought a set too! I’m boring though. Looking to get them blasted with media along with my Ti frame to have matching finish

Do you do this on polished or sandblasted frames? Or are we talking about painted ones? I thought that polished TI frames needed no clearcoat?
