Ummm... No, probably not. Wouldn't go so well with my shiny ne
stainless stem:

About a week's wort of evenings in that You'd be amazed how roug
investment cast stainless bits can be, not to mention how har
stainless is to work. The tube in the middle will be painted red, t
match the frame it's going on.

Having said that, I have ordered a set of Campy Record plastic drop-ba
brake levers as they don't make proper aluminium ones any more

Regards,

Suz

for that real retro look, carve replacement levers from some sort
redwood,
red cedar or cherry might work.

think I might be onto something here - wood inlayed lugs !
could you inlay the plastic levers to give them some reality?

Admittedly, my ideas are unrestrained from doing any of this myself

I'm running out of praise and compliments... :-)

What's the difference with stainless? Why the difficulty?
Is it a week total or was that just the polishing?
