The anodizing on these brakes was driving me crazy... I ended up stripping them to find they anodized them for a reason, they are full of pits. In the end I sanded the Paul logo off of them and gave them a buff job. I think I may be getting a little strange, I even put them on a scale just to see.

Ha, ha, the winter was long, real long. This was one of the more sane projects that arouse.

Dude this winter I took a black seatpost and bead blasted it. Spent hour after hour on the polishing wheel to get a pretty silver post. I mean days of labor, I don't know how the builders polish lugs it's f'n maddening.

So I get all done with the post and go to put it in the bike and it was the wrong eff'n diameter :crap:

You aren't the only nutty one.
