i like polished alloy used to polish all my stuff bitd still do now , but i have to agree with the above and say leave it, just tidy up the black bits,

, thing is if you polish it and decide you don't like it the brushed finnish is quite tricky to restore and i believe is done before its annodised?

Question is ! what is it going on ?

i think you can have a sweet looking show bike and have every thing detailed on it - nice polished items and all clean
you can also have a correct spec build and how it was back in the day

we see a lot of polished stems - most are because some have too many scratchs and ding's and of coruse we love a bit of bling

that stem looks too good to polish and trying to get it back when the fashion changes will not be easy

I have a pro neck II but it has to be filled with alloy as it has cracks in the top part - then it will get a polish - unless any one has a top going spare ?

i think you should polish the fook out of it, so much that the writing goes and all the corners are round

Leave as is of course
