Progress has been made.
I have no idea as to the date of these Strong seatposts, but I think they are cracking. All I need to do is give one of them a light sand, etch prime and rattle can black, not forgetting to get Delcals to reproduce the decal for me of course.

The DX pedals I have had for a few years and I started the restoration a long time ago. It took quite a bit of work to get them to the standard you see here. It is always a balance when restoring parts as you inevitably sacrifice material. I do not restore parts for the sake of it and I never take it lightly. If I was lucky enough to have a complete survivor then I would not touch a thing on it, but I have never had such luck. I also question the rationale behind 'building a survivor', it make little sense to me but each to there own, there is room for everyone. There is a Facebook group concerned with 'BMX Parts Restoration', it should be called '...what can I over polish today and obliterate all authenticity', I struggle to find room for them :knuppel2:!

Although it is just a rattle can job I am pleased. Maybe I could have used a high build primer but I am never looking to to make the parts look new or perfect; that is not my thing at all. The finish would definately have been better if the workshop was not a few degrees above freezing!
