Since I decided to keep the Dawes, some new things have been gradually arriving.
Firstly these:
Cheap Rotor 3D+ cranks from facebook marketplace... not in the best condition but mechanically fine, and they came in the right length and with the correct axle and spider (and chainrings / bolts) so I'm happy.
The plan is to sand off the black anodising on the arms and either just polish it or get it re-anodised in silver (depending on how much re-anodising costs). The advantage of getting them re-anodised is that they will remove the black for me.
I had a little go at sanding it myself and it reminded me that sanding and polishing old parts is a massive pain in the arse.
