I asked him about this today but he said as they have the small cracks in the bodies it MIGHT (wont know till he does them) but might make the crack worse ?
Obviously i dont want that to happen  :-\
Anyone done it b4 ?

Nicfred:
I have just looked through my old ebay watched ended items and found these NOS Titron pedals ( they ended on 24th April 2011, and sold for £1120  :idiot2:) the bodies have been polished? The listing said " Very rare and unused early titron 2nd generation pedals from 1982 FACTORY POLISHED with early super sharp cages" these are the same as i have,but mine as not NOS ,my cages are NOS but the bodies are not  :'(

Im just trying to decide which way to go? Do i re chrome them (like the ones above, which sold for more than my house is worth) or try to remove the chrome and get a not so shiny finish?

Help  :LolLolLolLol:

Sorry for the small picture but cant seem to make it any bigger?

AKGOFF:
If they were mine I would get them rechromed to a show finish :daumenhoch:

Just found another picture of a pair, again they look chromed , they look ok to me  :-\, i agree that they should look original but due to the small cracks in the pedal bodies if i was to chrome them this would cover it up
