Andy, We are hard up North, who needs tyres.
All this refurb is costing a furtune.
I have ordered some city jet tyres but have to wait 2 weeks from my local bike shop.
It probable going to take that time to sort the body shell as it's quite bad with scuffs and some deep scratches.
Will be also trying some 11% Chlorine solution I got from a friend. The water treatment guys use it to clean / flush new mechanical pipe work installs, so will give it a go (small area) but will still use the normal CIF and scouring pads, etc.
thanks
Lance
