Re:
Quick freshen-up of the DT RWS skewers today, they were looking a little rough, and the two red centres didn't tie in with anything else on the black sheep, so I thought i'd have a go at doing something about that too whilst I was at it!
Dismantle, a quick sand, prime and satin black for the levers, and then the dremel was put to work to buff off the red centres, a light rub over with the same pad I used to finish the frame and then reassembly.... think they look much tidier now!

Aaargh!! :evil:
Turns out Chris King in their infinite wisdom no longer supply the fittings necessary with their bottom brackets cups as there are so many different axle types these days.... so not only do you have to fork-out for the privilege of buying one of their BB's in the first place, you ALSO have to buy a kit to optimise it for the cranks you're using. :facepalm:

Re:
Thought I'd have a go at recreating the "Made In..." decal, it's not wearing too well compared to the rest of Gils fab new reproductions, it was also a fun exercise blowing away the cobwebs since I last used 'Elements'! Changed it a little, but pleased with the result.
