What finish are you going with on that

The stem was chrome... with nice green stuff growing on it.
I had it stripped and polished. That being said I won't be using it on this build. Ive a GT SR mallet stem ready to go on.

Can the chrome stripping be a diy job or a specialist as I've previously stayed away from items I've wanted with peeling chrome.
Yours has turned out really good

Funnily enough I had no plans for the Hutch stem, but then I took a chance on one of the raffle that occur on the Facebook groups from time to time and actually won an OG candy red Hutch Trickstar frame and fork!
But that'll be another story once this PFT is out of the way.
But couldn't resist a quick build with bits I had lying around.

I can't take any credit for the stem, I left it in to a guy to have it polished. A guy called Mark Smith, not sure if he's on here.
kalex:
It's the actual chrome that I was wondering how to remove or did the same bloke who polished it do that also.
I'm not on FB so that's flown over my head sorry but looks a tidy TS
