• The headset on the Master will be a 1" Tange Seiki. They have a matt anodized alu finish from the factory. To blend them in more nicely with the chromed headtube lugs and chromed forks, I polished them to a mirror finish. De-anodized them first, afterwards polished with buffing wheel and polish paste.

  • Those Tange Seiki headsets are a great update. They look nice on older bikes and have a low stack height. Used many of them myself.

    Could you explain how you removed the anodising? Do you sand it off? Or do you strip them with chemicals?

  • I've put them in a plastic ziplock bag with some HG oven cleaner. Just a few minutes, not too long. This will take off the anodizing.

    Correct on the stem, the short one is not mine but just a reference to the stock finish.
