Thanks 
I would run a carbon post but, I think the black would look bad mated with the polished seat mast. I've run lots of polished alum to play off the fork crown area. I do have one and will try it when I finish the build.
Cheers

I rebuilt my fork today; Since it was already in 50 pieces I figured I'd throw 'em at the polishing wheel
The anodizing on my brake calipers is faded so I gave them a little blast with the rattle can.
I've been looking for something to try out the new Dupli-Color MetalCast product on;
From their site;
Restyling Products
Metalcast™
Dupli-Color® Metalcast™ Anodized Color turns ordinary chrome pieces into a bright, transparent-colored metallic finish in an easy one-step process. Metalcast is a durable enamel finish that is oil, gas, and heat resistant to 500° F intermittently, making it ideal for interior, exterior, and high-heat applications under the hood. Specially formulated to work over properly prepared shiny, bare metal, and faux chrome-like surfaces.
Seems to look pretty nice;

I also polished my stem and installed a carbon riser bar;

Wow nicer than new! I have the same amp fork that looks a bit tattered. You really polished it up nicely.

A little update; I've sorted the UST tires on the Non-UST rims with no tire sealant. I've done the bracket for the Flight Deck head unit. I'll put up pictures of that after the Ti bits arrive. I've sorted the rear brake rotor hitting the end of the suspension linkage bolt. Pictures after the Ti bits arrive. Sorted the front derailleur cable stop. Waiting for Ti for this as well but, I did take a picture;

Update; I finished the mounting bracket for the Flight Deck head unit. I was waiting for the Ti hardware;
I also finished the rear suspension linkage bolts. There had been a clearance issue with the brake rotor.
Drive side, stock dimensions replaced with Ti hardware. No clearance issues;
Disc rotor side, machined and Ti hardware;
It's a tight fit but now it's standard ISO dimensions so I can run modern disc wheels;
