I painted my Shimano Deore cranks because polished cranks are so ‘last month’ :)

Resurrected my old scuffed-up cranks! After 30,000 miles, the finish was long gone, so I’ve refreshed them with new logos and some "anti-theft" personality.

I took inspiration from some Rolls Royce aerospace engineers I worked with 35 years ago; they used to engrave all their personal tools with "Stolen from Bob Smith." Ever since, I’ve marked my gear the same way: "Stolen from: [Your Name/Email]."

Info on DIY laser printed decals in my last post: Resprayed my Cannondale forks and accessories—restored the logos using DIY laser waterslide decals.
