Had the NIYB (New Improved Yeti Bike) up at Nelly's today for a couple of minor tweaks, and we discovered that the hideous gold alloy fasteners dotted about the place are in fact Titanium!
Nelly very generously offered to swap them for a stainless alternatives! I may yet take him up on that, but first thought I might try to tone them down a bit.
Anyone suggest a method of stripping or at least dulling down the gold finish? Had wondered about maybe soaking the heads in Sulphuric acid for a while, but am not really sure how Ti might react to an acid.
Answers on a postcard please, or if you can't be bothered with that, just post something up here....
