H gang,
I won a set of Renthals from ebay a couple of weeks ago and have just started polishing the clamp marks and dings out of them. Does anyone know what the original finish was on them ? Was it polished or a duller brushed look ?
Plus does anyone know the sticker size or should I just get a sticker from a set of motorbike bars ?
Cheers all.............Adam

More than likely the original finish was polished the annodised clear like the seatposts.

Original finish was Satin... (Silver) like the seatposts.... with a black Anno crossbar. They also did Blue and Red Anno colours too.
A Quick tip if you are using Polished Alloy seatposts: If you polish the post make sure you move it (side to side)regularly inside your frame... otherwise it will oxidise/weld its self to the inside of the seatube over time and you will end up with a stuck seat post ;)

Good tip FM
Yep the one I had bitd had the black cross bar.
Can't believe you found one on the bay. :tickedoff: I've been keeping my eyes open. The only one I've seen is DMs (which is about to finish £51 atm) :wtf:

Thanks all, they are starting to clean up real good, I'm gonna have to get the clamps and bar anodised again as they look a bit tatty. I t was a lucky find on ebay, I got them for 45 quid which I though was a good price.

Hmmmm............ Just been looking at the anodising sticky up top. Looks like they can do satin silver on the bars as well as the black crossbar stuff ! I think I'm gonna have to phone these guys for a chat.
