Re: Re:
Cheers guys.... slight delay in finishing these.... I’m about halfway through polishing a M900 crankset (I was just going to acid etch it then spray them gold, but I know that’s the easy way out so instead it’s a week of grabbing an hour here and there to go through the grades etc)
Also I’ve been mocking up cable runs, I have original proper NOS XTR & Campy cables sets so I don’t want to mess it up & one area I’m not happy with is where the headset mounted front canti cable stop/hanger sits... on both bikes they are quite close to the underside of the stems. So new plan is to use the drilled out mudguard hole on the forks to mount a canti hanger there. Only problem is the Campy headset now has a 3mm gap! I need a 1 1/4” aluminium spacer to fill it & I can’t find one anywhere... :facepalm:

i was looking at the first picture of the two crank arms, thinking yeah, not to bad i suppose, before scrolling down the the next picture :facepalm:
You should be able to get the decals for that crank arm.

Re: Look for one Lotus Sport and two come along!
The back of them is a rough as a badgers arse, even after some serious work going through the grades and buffing like my life depended on it, I’d still only class them at 90% finished. But that’s as good as this set will get, after Christmas I might invest in some NOS/VGC.......
As for decals, yes, just sent Gil an email
