Title: Help with anodising a stem
Post by: ccshell on April 19, 2015, 03:25 PM: Ive got a NOS sugino stem (Kuwie ET type) in really good shape but its in blue. Am looking to get it anodised to the proper mat black to go onto an ET original. Note, anodised not painted!!
Can anyone sort this for me? PM me

As above Jay will provide a complete service, and i wouldnt risk making it more difficult by attempting to help.
Her work is outstanding. You won't be disappointed and her prices are good too.
