Those are the original SRAM grip shifters circa1987 designed as an end-of-the-aero bars twist shifter for tri .. And it all started with that shifter.

You can purchase individual or boxes of external circlips at good hardware stores or online .. eBay! All you need to measure is the shaft diameter of the pivot pin and then match the circlip size to that, as they are sized by standards.

A lot of 'elbow grease' .. seriously.

I basically started with coarse grit paper to 'rip' the majority of the powder coat off, being careful enough not to cut through to the aluminium, as that would mean some deep scratches to remove with the grit I used. Then removed the remaining powder coat and any scratches in the aluminium with progressively finer papers. Always sanding in the opposite direction to the previous grade eg. with the grain and then across the grain. I went down to 1200 grit wet/dry as the final paper. Finally polished by hand with the Meguiars.

The bike was a parts bin special, so sanding and final polishing took place as and when I had a free 5 minutes over many months so I can't suggest how long it actually took.

Built this one from a similar base frame and forks I grabbed of eBay for a steal. I stripped it the hard way with wet sanding at various grades and then Meguiars all metal polish to finish.
