Hare brake lever resto
« on: October 17, 2005, 02:40 PM »
Is this same technique as Skyway resto its made of plastic. I don't have dishwasher and don't want to FCUK it up picture enclosed and anyone got another. In picture it looks cleaner than it is for some reason wouldn't mind a set of their pedals too in yellow.
