Silverfish 1993 Fat Chance Ti

[Silverfish]

Cook bros stem is waaay better looking than ringle. Safer too since zooka s front plate cracks like it's their plan from the beginning.

It is you’re right
But feels too early for this build
And then the stem and post won’t match
I’m a bit OCD about collars and cuffs matching

I tried this but it didn't appear to make any difference - you sure it works - or were you winding me up? If you were you had me!

It takes some "elbow grease"!

On anodized parts the laser etching is burning off the anodizing leaving bare aluminum logo. All the "high end" cranksets were made of 7075-T6 which has zinc in it for strength, but makes the material more likely to corrode.

Laser etching Titanium just roughs the surface to make a logo.

So I just need to rub harder?

Get a Salsa!

Pretty sure I took a black Salsa off the Team Yo
I’m still committed to finding and trying a Zooka first

Funny you should post this right now because John T, Chris Chance's former partner is sitting next me drinking a chilly Sapporo beers right now. John has been my best friend for the last 40+ years. he lives 300 miles south of me so it is a real pleasure!
