You have Techmetic, I did see some repro's of these on USEbay & they looked really good too, but that was a few months ago

This is a Hadley on my Master

A local machine shop might cut you some on a lathe but yours should polish up nicely with some autosol or Peak

and when the decals are applied there is not a lot to see

here you go

theese just came today titanium

brettypeeps · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:14 PM »

Use the worst one on the drive side

They will both polish a treat but you will have to start with fine grade wet and dry first Just take your time and they will come up a treat

Neil,what ever you do dont polish that chainwheel

Betty · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:27 PM »

Could you not just use a new 19mm sealed bb/cups?

Is that not what that is up there^^^

Soz if it's a dumb question...

You can use a new redline bottom bracket but they are black... I would be keep the original bearing at all costs if it was mine

neil · « **Reply #17 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:39 PM »

i think ill keep the bb ,looked at the new ones but they are black!
was thinking bout polishing the chainring but not sureits got a few scrapes/marks on it

Betty · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:47 PM »

Profile (and others) do 19mm bb's in silver/polished finish

oldtired · « **Reply #19 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:21 PM »

the ones you have can be sorted and made shiney ,assuming thats what you mean , this set is a new set obviously was black now its not, can't see why you can't get similar results on the one you have

sorry about fuzzy pics camera not very good in leccy light sure you can make it out though +1 with Rooski leave the chainwheel alone

neil · « **Reply #20 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:33 PM »

WOW looks like a knights shoulder!! no im just afer smooth and shiney ,christ you mustve put some effort into that!!

oldtired · « **Reply #21 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:39 PM »

about half an hour

, not to most peoples taste shiney alloy as a lot of os parts were not polished , all mine always have been, even bitd , i agree you do have to draw the line with some of the parts though ,

Yes you could use any 19mm BB these are 90s BBs, they looked like Techmetic from you're first pic
