I have removed anodising from chainsets without problems, is there a reason why it couldn’t be done to Thomson post and stem? Has anybody done it?

google search…

For a while someone on ebay was selling custom purple thomson stuff.

You reckon it won’t work?

If you do then take super-mega-extra care 🙂 Caustic is very nasty stuff! Eye protectors and all skin covered up as a minimum.

Yes, I realise that. I stripped Hone cranks in seconds, will try the seatpost tomorrow I hope.

Hairychested- just out of curiosity, why do you want to do this? Is it just to remove the branding as shown in the picture above?

No, to make it silver. Just for a change.

You know you can buy them in silver right?

I can’t, not now – no job so no new bike bits. Besides, I’ll be polishing some Saint cranks too.
