Why polish the chain ring?  They were not polished bitd as standard, which always makes me wonder why they get polished now!

It looks crap, put it in a box and send it to me  :LolLolLolLol:
































Looks very nice  :daumenhoch:

That is very very nice I really like it. I agree don't polish the Chainring and don't dye the Padset.

Looks perfect as it is mate :daumenhoch:

Those drop outs look barely touched, was it a NOS set or just well looked after?

Dylon multi purpose dye, someone dyed their nylon Torker pads from yellow to black and they came up OK :daumenhoch:

Very well looked after mate, nothing on it was hard worn ( just need a cyclepro snake belly to replace the one used for skidding, the front is mint :daumenhoch:) the cranks and frame set came up really well with little effort :4_17_5:
