Thank you!
Well, I used the lathe to cut the replacement steerer to the correct length and to turn the insert to the correct diameter, but all the finish work was done by hand.
I guess nearly a decade of doing this stuff on bikes and 20 years prior, doing similar stuff for sports cars has paid off!
I probably didn't charge half as much as most builders would these days either!
Edit - I just noticed where you can see a slight change in the colour of the metal 20mm or so under the threads, That and the threads were clamped in a wooden tube block so didn't get hit with scotchbrite!
So no lathe?
Outstanding level of finish on it, would never have been able to spot it.
