A bit of restoration ...........................................
Mattdub:
Restoration is pretty cool when done well & much more satisfying than buying NOS ..............................................
BEFORE: ( Reasonable amount of years of built up grime & overspray ! lol ) ...............................
The Suntour Superbe's ( on left ) were the worst , the Campy Records on the right show no sign of ever being laced . The Suntours are rarer than the Campy's , I've seen a few sets of low flange Superbe's but not any high flange on the message boards but they must be out there .
A loyal supporter of the Suntour Superbe range was ABA Hall of famer Mr Greg Grubbs , seen here on the cover of BMX Action Dec 82 .
Not quite finished but close , the two sets above joined by some Tipo's I've had a while now ......................................
L to R : Campagnolo Tipo - Suntour Superbe - Campagnolo Record .

Very nice dude. I know what you mean about the Superbe's I have been looking for some for ages.
Can you give us a run through of your polishing process. Been trying to polish some of my stuff.
Dont know if i'm doing things wrong or just lacking patience. :LolLolLolLol:

Matt, they look great. I have polished a couple of pairs of hubs now and they looked fantastic, but they soon tarnish. What do you do to stop em tarnishing?

Hi Tony ,
Only had them done a few weeks & yet to be built so not at that stage yet .
I know some have lacquered them but if that starts coming off then they look dreadful , all kinda patchy ::) .
