show prep, part 1

Getting my bike ready for the Stafford Bike Show is actually a little daunting, to be judged and compared against so many amazing bikes makes you second guess everything. My bike genuinely looks great but I can see faults everywhere, stuff you wouldn't notice or see, but I see.... 

First off is a good clean,


Secondly the tyre pressure warning decal turned up


Next I removed the front wheel to give it a proper clean behind the spokes, but getting into the tightest point near the rim proved very difficult.


Next I used some old petrol and a tooth brush which seemed to work.
