nice bike. demo 7 is probably one of the better "shore" bikes out there.
curtis is an impressive rider, incredibly well-rounded, and a nice guy.

Stripped is the way to go for sure. I did the same thing to my Socom before the snow fell. What paint scuffs?

did he clear the frame after stripping ???

the photos make it hard to tell if its just left natural which im gunna guess it is..

problem with raw alloy is it tends to corrode VERY quickly.. leaving both a ugly finish and of course the chance for the surface to rot away..

No clear on it, and its aluminium, he polished it and it hasnt corroded at all. Looks shiny new still.

Intense heat treat theirs before they paint them which seals in the goodness. I've seen other frames stripped that are going a few years strong with no oxidization or rust to speak of. None of those were Sundays tho. You can't polish bondo.
