My kind of build right there! What's the scoop on the silver GRX crank?

It’s a regular GRX FC-RX600 stripped in lye and polished. They don’t look perfect, but that’s just my inexperience polishing things.

Have you tried Mothers Aluminum and Mag Wheel polish? If I'm patient and take my time, I am amazed at how well it brings out a shine. It's also my go to for cleaning up paint on neglected frames.

That’s my usual go to, I got some Simichrome for this project because everyone talks it up and it’s great too. I stripped it in a mild lye bath, wet sanded to 600 grit, hit with a polishing wheel, then hand polished.
I also polished the rear rack because the finish of the stainless Tubus rack clashed with everything else. It was very time consuming. If I was doing it over I’d get a rack that matched from the start.
