  • yesterday i polished the Shimano Dura-ace Stem

    must apply the bar tape (brown one)

  • This looks absolutely great! I did a little restoration on a 80's Peugeot recently, converted it to a fixie but it didn't turn out half as good as this! Will look even better with the bar tape

  • thanks Sheffy!
    Tomorrow i think the sun will shine. Maybe a good day for pics ;)

  • awesome job !

  • perfect build dude!

  • thanks Sylvain513 and HPx93! ;)

  • Out of curiosity how do you go about polishing the stem?

  • how did i do it?

  • Yup - what did you use to polish the stem? Looks super shiny and I've tried to bring mine up but not got nearly that good

  • This build is sooo nice, perfect!

    first of all i sanded (first #1000 water sand and than #600) the stem because it had very scratches (too many years of life). Than i used this

  • well thats what i thought when i saw the photo, i dont know whether you're a photographer by profession or not but personally id be writing them an email with a bill attached, explaining they either need to change the wording and credit you, or pay for your services.

  • Well done Noca, another lovely bike

    i sent "them" an email
    i'm waiting for an answer
    but something tells me that i will not get it

  • people often get a bit scared when you say you'll take further action, hopefully they at least credit you.

  • or maybe there is german guy very similar to me :) lol!
