my experience with this is that polished machine marks are super hard to keep shiny. due to the open surface that the marks leave that white alu oxydation will occur much faster.
a completely smoothed surface will stay shiny much longer especially if treated with a bit of car wax.

good luck with the awesome project!

The stem will be slammed once built just didn't want to scratch it before I knew how slammed @Tijs
As for the cockpit Kerin grips on risers isn't my cup of tea @HHC, reminds me as a bmxer of the awful fashion of running ODI Longneck XLs all the way to the cross bar and grips should stop where the bar starts to curve on risers in my opinion. So I think I'm gonna go with ANML Edwin grips since this is supposed to be a functional bike and this is my favourite grip to BMX with. I know most people are gonna hate that but this bike really does need to be comfy haha!
If I'm honest @BrickMan I really don't want to get rid of the machining marks as I like the industrial feel of it so I'll probably just autosol what I've got
