    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!
