From that review:

While it's only been a few days, it seems incredibly unlikely that the coating would last through any continued wear and tear.

Also

Apparently there's a reason everything they spray down in the promotional video is white. The box claims that the coating dries to a "milky white haze," but what you really end up with is more along the lines of "someone vomited small amounts of white paint onto my belongings and left it in the sun to dry." Generally speaking. And as we already mentioned, that pre-digested milky mélange shakes off with alarming ease—from the places you actually want it to stick to, that is.

It probably wouldn't be the best on a frame or any bike part. Maybe with some more development it would be.

You should feel special and thankful instead of being an ingrate. Not a lot of people have special titles. Embrace the pooh man it's cool.

I've always used clear coat to put grips on. It dries so hard that your grip will need to be cut off when you do change them. Never heard of using grease for that. Are they slippery at all?

Brake pads....

There are no dumb questions man. Better to ask then to assume and not grease your tubes and tires.

Would a Hamilton make a good flatland bike?

Mines 19.5 and I use it on street and flat. Its strong as hell I've had it for years now and I don't see myself getting a different frame. It helps to have a little bit of a longer stem to get good hops for street with a 19.5. The only other frame I would suggest for flat and street would be the DECO Succubus or Terry Adams Signature frame.

Love the shcwinn throw back.

Haven't painted my Federal Hamilton in a while so I've decided to strip all the paint off little bits at a time and I've been grinding off all brake related mounting. I'm not going to paint it but just leave it bare with some clear coat on it.





Not finished obviously. Lookin ugly but I kind of like it.

Damn. I've been on these message boards for way too long. I was on Ride for awhile before the suddenlaunch board.  I've probably been on these since I was around 14.

Ah the good ol suddenlaunch days. If it wasn't for this site I never would of been able to predicted that your steering colom on your van was about to exploude. Sure enough It did. Glad I wasn't there for that, and that you didn't get hurt heh. Ahh the magic Bikeguide posses.
