Raw look?
Have any of you guys sanded off the paint on your bikes to achieve the raw metal look. If so, did you clear coat or anything afterwords. I am interested in attempting this and if it doesn't look good, just repaint?

I saw some tough looking bikes in the 70"s. But then there was some tough guys riding them. It took a lot of life out of you to wear a bike down like that. Guess the same is true anymore with pants. Easier to buy or make. One thing about metal, if you keep wearing on the same area, it won't rust.
