The shaft and shoulders are satin hard chrome, and the sleeve ends are a brighter chrome. Both are functional finishes; no decorative chrome is added.
Each end closes with an engraved Oxblood cap, lettered in silver. Both caps read EDSTROM, 20 KG and 44.1 LB; one adds the line “The good life requires training.”
Hand marks sit at 810 and 910 mm, and the centre of the shaft is left smooth.
