Shimano XTR M900 chainset with nice set of 26, 36, 46 SG-F rings.....175mm arms.

Tapers and threads all good, polished up and ready to go.

Comes complete with original UN90 68 x 107 bottom bracket.....bearings smooth and no play and amazingly no damage to the castilations on the cups even!

The drive side arm has had some historic heal rub, which (now polished) show up in the light at certain angles.....but as you can see from the first picture, not all the time.....as such im letting this one go from the hoard on the cheap as its not in my mind perfect. But it does have the bottom bracket, which are now hard to find in original condition and good working order.....i suspect this would be £40+ on its own.

Any questions please ask.....i also have a very good matching m900 28.6 front mech if needed.

Btw decals can be bought from DNFive for a couple of quid is you need them

£120 posted and insured (uk only). PayPal friends and family please or pay

The glib answer would be " over 30 years of practice", but to be honest its just hard work over experience.

Polishing is merely getting all you scratches in the same direction.

Chainsets are a good starting point as they dont have too many fiddly bits to get into.

Cantilevers and mechs can be more challenging !

These are for my conquest, which has much shiny shiny.
