Zinn Custom Restoration part 1

The Zinn has arrived and the restoration has begun. 

To start the restoration I have begun with the de-rusting of the dropouts and bottom bracket.  The frame itself is in decent shape, the carbon is sound and other than the exposed surfaces their is no additional rust. 

#1 - Cleaning of the rust.

 

                                       

  #2 - The rust removed and initial cleaning/ polishing completed.

  This is as far as I have progressed at this point.  Here is a couple of quick bike shots to see the overall look.  Notice how the Top Tube is parallel to the ground even with a 650c front/ 700c rear wheel combo.
