And on it goes!

I forgot to say, that I also manufactured a new "noodle" for the Syncros stem since it was broken off when the stem came here. I took a long M6 drill, drilled out the aluminium tube from the front to back and bent a new steel pipe 6mm OD x 4mm ID and glued it back into the aluminium tube with Loctite. Then I just airbrushed the pipe back to black and also put on 3 coats of clear. Afterwards, I just gave it a polish and some fresh decals and it was good to go again:

Also, the matching early 90s SYNCROS bars with aluminium shim got a nice new pair of my SYNCROS banderoles. I just love them! Theyre so beautifully ugly retro with the shim and so on ... I think I collected about 5 or 6 of those already.

All these SYNCROS decals (for Powerlite fork, Revolution cranks, stems, seat posts, hubs, bar-ends, etc.) are available from me! Just drop me a PM.
