Here are some yokes ready for chrome. It's about 2hrs to blast the zinc, grind, and polish.

I burnished the bearing hangers and rear sprocket hub. The bearing hangers were in great shape, so I figured I could polish them up as well. The hangers took an hour.

A little known fact is some alloys of aluminum are the most reflective material known. Large telescope mirrors are made from aluminum for this reason.

While I was at it I did the rear caliper as well. Between cleaning, blasting the anodizing, and polishing the caliper has 2 hours.
