Also, if you have one lying around, the correct rear deraileur for that set is a super record. You can see that frame (Treviso) in the 1984 Pinarello catalog. There was a dura ace version, which is what Alexi Grewal rode to olympic gold that year, and a production version that was all pinarello pantographed campy super record. It's a super sweet bike.dswesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138281146225507166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644962941958841994.post-67661350936467343292015-08-05T13:13:27.030-07:002015-08-05T13:13:27.030-07:00John, incredible job.

Just got to go carefully and use soap water peeling a bit at a time.<br /><br />Thank you for the interest.<br />Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038559533807088090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644962941958841994.post-4525624171311460782015-02-22T14:00:13.950-08:002015-02-22T14:00:13.950-08:00Beautiful result on this restoration.

Did your frame have a clear coat over the decals. What products did you use to polish the paint and remove the imprints from the old decals?pra68https://www.blogger.com/profile/02013676227736281515noreply@blogger.com
