Just seen this in the classifieds.
I’m guessing this has had an attempt at removing the anodising.
How close to an og silver Thomson does a de-anodised black one get? I’d like to have it pretty close but thinking the grooved surface of Thomson posts might make a bright polished finish harder to achieve?
Got any photos of ones you’ve done?
TotalShanner-
Well if you polish it it would be more shiny but if you didn't sand it it would still have the lovely machining marks and probably a faded logo.
I havent done a Thomson yet but I have been meaning to. I just did the Rotor 3D cranks for my all road if you wanna compare finish -
I believe Thomson silver is actually got a coating or anodising finish to it, it's not raw

Here's a tasty looking inline. Fairly priced.
If you were to use the Thomson you have coming and wanted it silver, it is pretty easy dunking it in drain cleaner and polish it up using a drill and some pads and compound.
But whatever it looks great no matter.
Also you have loads og silver and black components mixed so it actually fits the build.
