You have Techmetic, I did see some repro's of these on USEbay & they looked really good too, but that was a few months ago

This is a Hadley on my Master  8)

A local machine shop might cut you some on a lathe but yours should polish up nicely with some autosol or Peak :daumenhoch: and when the decals are applied there is not a lot to see

Use the worst one on the drive side :daumenhoch:
They will both polish a treat but you will have to start with fine grade wet and dry first Just take your time and they will come up a treat

You can use a new redline bottom bracket but they are black...  I would be keep the original bearing at all costs if it was mine :daumenhoch:

the ones you have can be sorted and made shiney ,assuming thats what you mean , this set is a new set obviously was black now its not,   can't see why you can't get similar results on the one you have  :daumenhoch:   sorry about fuzzy pics camera not very good in leccy light sure you can make it out though   +1 with Rooski  leave the chainwheel alone  :smitten:
