This arrived today, and the question is: what do I do with it?
For now I will clean it, wax it and build it with a mix of C-record/ 8 speed Record and she how it rides. It will need new paint(I don't mind the nicks or cosmetic rust I can see, but the paint bubbles here and there worry me.) So:
1. How do I contain the rust for now?(is very light, and just on the surface)
2. When the time comes, how should I paint it?
3. I'll likely build it with the 8-speed group, but I also have a '72 Nuovo Record group, this could be a real nice Molteni Replica. (But then I need another frame for the 8-speed group.)
