GT Powersries cranks makeover!

(1/3) > >>

generallee:
Check this out - great for a mid school build, if youre not too worried about the threaded pedal insert or left hand drive chainring bolt hole.. which im not...

GT made the Power Series cranks way back, Fusion also made their own version... then roll on a few yeasr and Primo brings out the Powerbite... then Fit Bike Co do a version, then various other companies like blank etc etc .... and Prolite [from cyclesport] do this mirror polish crankset... looks very similar to the power series, more so in fact than the Powerbites or Hollowbites due to the slight different shapes in the arm comtours etc...

Del the decal master made decals up for me from my measurements and design... aiming to obscure the prolite logo whcih is lightly etched into the arm [much better to cover over than a deeply etched carved out primo logo]

so - before



and after

Del:
they came out better than i thought they would steve.

CD17:
They look great  :4_17_5:

Wayne Ryder:
Are these plated or polished?
What I'm getting at is: Would the ProLite logo buff out, or would you take the chrome off with it? I had some scratches polished out of a knife blade once, they weren't that deep, but still...

generallee:
these are aolloy cranks, and you cant chrome plate alloy - they are mirror polished aluminium... so you could always buff out then re shine... take some doing but defo do-able!
