Has this chain ring had it?

[SirLurkalot]

Just going over the Galaxy. I'm going to be asking a lot of questions because I want to do this one right and keep as much original as I can.
Is this chain ring too far gone? And if it is can I get a replacement?

looks fine to me.

I've seen far far worse!

Nope looks ok.

You get shark fins when they really wear and your shins will complain!!!

The inner ring may be a bit worn but as above, I've seen and used much worse. I suspect that it's a logo'd version of one of the many types of chain sets made by Sugino back in the 70s/80s.

All good, get that chain in some WD40 stat... Though.

Mrs K used to have one far more worn on her training bike. A 55 very early campagnolo (pre anodising) and she change on the front in same point of rotation, so several teeth were completely worn away. The inside ring would be either 51 or 52, .

You can still get that ring. How right do you want it? You can mechanically polish it so it’s almost like chrome. That might be the way to go instead of replacement to get a fresh look. One of my buddies polished his alloy on a bike and it made everything else look shabby so he ended out lacing new rims and sending it out for original color repaint and decals. It was a project that got out of hand, all starting with polishing. My Triumph tranny cases have been polished and it originally looked far worse than your crank and chainring.

Get a new chain and cassette. Locally everyone pretty much puts on a new cassette when the chain becomes worn, otherwise 99% of the time you’ll end out with an automatic transmission. if it skips after a new chain you need to replace the cassette. To avoid that possibility we just automatically replace both. This might be a part of the local bike culture, don’t know what ther rest of the world does as standard pratice.

Plenty of miles left in it .

Spa cycles has a good stock of chain rings . You will need to check the BCD first .
