Silver finishing kit options

@pit I believe

It is indeed.

I really like the zipp silver stuff. But yeah, it's not really silver, more a pearlescent grey/silver anodized finish. Its very stiff

Coincidentally I stumbled across this on eBay yesterday which I’ve not seen before. I like it.

That Ridley looks good, thanks. Yeah that Zero 100 stem is nice, i wonder if it's the same finish as the RS01 seatpost? Seatpost looks more silver than gun metal

I really like the zipp silver stuff

Looks great on your Ridley. I have a gloss black frame that i'd like silver finishing kit on but i'm keen to avoid the Tokyo bike black and chrome look as it'll also have silver cranks.

Silver 31.8 bars I have for sale:

1. Ritchey Classic Evocurve 40cm £20 sold
   
2. Ritchey Classic Evocurve 42cm £20
   
3. Ritchey Classic Neoclassic 40cm £20
   
4. Zipp SC 70 Ergo 38cm £20 sold
   
5. Zipp SC 70 Ergo 40cm £20 sold
   

I have a Zipp 100mm stem in the silver - it’s okayyyyy, never thought it looked horrible, but I do quite like shiny silver stuff so shrugs

Does that mean you’re getting rid of a C220 stem? 🧐

Zipp SC 70 Ergo 38cm £20

I’ll take these, will pm

Yooo okay, I’m keen on the 38cm Zipp bars, will pm

Would you post? I’ve managed to score my evocurves so should prob replace. Would be interested in the 40cm classics

Would prefer not to but it sounds like you’re in need, so if you’ll cover the cost I’ll box them up. Send me a PM

hahah shit. that’s a photo finish.

That gunmetal deda looks great with titanium seatpost

I haven’t found anywhere else, but these lot have some polished silver deda stem/ bars https://ccache.cc/collections/vendors?q=deda+elementi

I did diy deanodizing and polishing. Don't recommend. Lot's of work and you have to polish it on regular basis to keep it shiny.

Don’t spose anyone has any 38 c2c silver drop bars they want to shift? 31.8 clamp

im using PRO Pilot os stem

That deda zero 100 stem looks great with titanium seatpost, that's actually what I'm planning to use on my current project.

Also my last build is full shiny silver to match the DA 7800 groupset. I tried an UNO stem from Ali but it is rather shitty so I will certainly go for the ritchey classic stem along with the matching headset.

Any nice options for silver 27.2 post, in 400mm length, 20mm layback ish? there’s Thomson, and the cheap system x /kalloy ones, but hoping to find something else out there…

I used Velo Orange seatpost and stem, with zipp silver bars on just finished Colnago

Yeah nah, I was asking if anyone had tried putting anodising on, not taking it off.

Last century I stripped the paint off an ally frame, which was my daily, and gave it a brushed finish with Scotch Brite. Pretty easy to touch up if you want, but I just left it, and after a few years some parts got polished from use, which I found pretty cool.

Anyway, bare ally is probably best with a brushed finish. Wouldn't recommend if you're by the seaside though

I have one of these to shift. Will double check but pretty sure it's BNIB, possibly fitted but not ridden

Finding silver bits was harder than expected - if only I’d found this thread!
@ojwithbits had the silver Omniums to get the ball rolling. Went with Ritchey classic c220 stem, classic seatpost, and silver evocurve bars. Ritchey classic spacers, paul funky monkey cable hanger.
Cane Creek 40 silver headset courtesy of @jontea (very fortunate as they seem to be rare as hens teeth). I’d bought an ok condition second hand Ritchey Classic HS on eBay but the BNIB Cane Creek is far nicer and a superior headset in general. Stripped some black Paul cantis with oven cleaner and gave them a brushed finish with a green abrasive pad. Surly cable hanger on the rear.

Was a bit gutted to not be able to find the old style sram s500 levers with the silver levers despite searching high and low.

Rims were another tricky one - Borg22 aka Kinlin xr22t from the cycle clinic were the only silver, tubeless, wide, 32h, rim brake, rims I could find anywhere. And then some Phil Wood hubs turned up for a good price to make some nice wheels, sapim butted spokes IIRC :)

Got some silly cable hangers. Gutted I didn’t get the ones with a face, I misread and though they were twice the price but it was the price each vs price for a pair. Whoops

Gonna go silver on the sprocket?

At this stage I think I can live with it. But I imagine if I do change the gearing for flatter rides, a Phil Wood stainless or EAI premium silver cog wouldn’t look bad :)

narrow-er slightly flared silver drops?

I know Zipp, Velo Orange, and Salsa do some. Any others?
