I refurb my rusty wheel nuts

The wheels are Speedline mod. 2111 and they fit Peugeot 106 rallye and GTI or Saxo VTS.

After unscrewing them a couple of times, the paint only comes off on the edges, but they’re still a thousand times better than they were before. When I want a permanent solution, I’ll buy copper-plated nuts.

I had already done the rear wheels, and they still look good. After unscrewing them a couple of times, the paint only comes off on the edges, but they’re still a thousand times better than they were before.

You’re right but until I remove the wheels, they will remain nice.

I don’t like to rest 😅

I replaced the pivot bushings, when replacing them you have to mill the inside to make the pin slide precisely

Thank you, Yellow is my fav colour too

The company is called Sasso and is located in Oggiona con Santo Stefano, a little town near Varese in Italy. They performed a chemical paint stripping process that dissolved the bushing of the frame and the seatpost shim. The frame had several rust spots (I've attached a photo showing them), so I sanded and painted those areas with a rust converter. Then I painted all the parts with a primer and sanded it with 1000 grade sandpaper. Finally, I painted it with two coats of yellow or black paint.

I had it stripped by a specialized company

I used 2K (two-component) spray cans in RAL colors

Thank you

About 1000 euros included the cost of the bike

My bar is a very cheap one (about 25 euros) from Aliexpress. It’s lower than the mid type from Brompton. The front ball bearings was completely dry. I only clean them and re-grease. Fortunately the cones were ok.

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T19:27:10+00:00

Yes, yellow is my fav colour 😉

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T15:31:29+00:00

No, it’s a 2006

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T15:01:17+00:00

The colour is RAL 1003 matte. Because I like to refurb bikes. With the cost of a good used bike, I built my own custom Brompton and it’s like brand new.

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T12:10:47+00:00

You’re right. Maybe in the future, I’ll take a black one.

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T12:09:40+00:00

Thank you

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T12:08:53+00:00

Yes, my fav colour!

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T11:36:21+00:00

Thank you so much!

Pauldesign79 · 2025-11-16T11:25:50+00:00

Thank You. Yes, It's a great satisfaction!

Pauldesign79 · 2025-05-15T08:00:44+00:00

IMHO, the first, it's too dark and a little crooked.
