Chaps,
HELP!! I am in the final stages of my GT Winterland and have been hunting for ages for gold MX1000. I managed to find NOS one 83 stamped in gold, and have spent literally hundreds of pounds on that, and two 83 stamped RH levers.
Prior to sourcing I found some reproductions from Japan, but they are the brightest gold ever and TBH would make the back look ****.
Saw an 84 set (F&B) MX1000 and two levers, 84 stamped on eBay and managed to get them for about £60. They are in an 'ok' state but the seller seems to have stripped them or rubbed them down. I am going to try Custom Riders and see if I send my originals down if they can match the gold…….. but tow concerns:
1) The scratches that the seller has put on all components - will they be covered up by the ano process?
2) I have been told I need to strip them - I would say they virtually are stripped. What would strip ano?
Thanks as ever!!!!
