My riding is recreational, and I have been updating an '85 Cannondale SR300 from it's original components. I have replaced things as they needed repair. I'm at the point now where it would be mainly cosmetic. I have found MOWA chainrings on ebay, and was wondering if anyone has any experience, or knowledge pertaining to their performance.

They look cool and they're made from 7075 t6 aluminum which is nice and tough. I can't find what type of anodize they did, hopefully they used the more expensive super hard kind.

Those do look nice...

As far as the anodizing, as far as I know the hard-anodizing only comes in one color: dark grey. So, I'm guessing the Mowa stuff has the regular anodizing.

The part that caught my attention was the BLK/RED chainring, but I'm considering some of the valve caps/screws too. I wasn't big on the fact that they are mainly distributed through Asian companies, and almost all their listings, if not all, are listed by a Taiwanese seller.

I have their chainring bolts on 3 bikes, along with star nuts and waterbottle cages...no problems.
Be careful when tightening the water bottles cage nuts.

edit: making consideration to use their chainrings.

I was definitely going to go for the bolts if I was doing the chainring. I'm wondering if their neck bolt is for quill stems.

Nope...that's a top cap screw for a threadless headset.

Damn, there goes the whole look of the bike.
