Thanks for the observations and recommendations, auchencrow! I just picked up some Mafac Competition brake levers (drilled with half-hoods) and have been on the lookout for Mafac Competition brakes. I saw this set-up on a 1972 PX-10 on classicrendevous.com and just figured I should go for that too. Is Racer the better way to go? I gotta say, I'm tempted by the Racers, they seem to be more readily available. Thanks for info about the tape -- I'll go black as you suggest and imagine it should be cloth-type tape. As for the Reynold decals, do you have any suggestions? I've semi-restored a few old electromechanical pinball machines in the past and backglasses with flaking paint is a common problem with some games. The standard fix for that is to lightly coat the flaking area (and the entire backglass for that matter) with Krylon Triple-Thick Clear Glaze. It looks great and protects against further flaking when done, but I know nothing about frame restoration. What is the usual amount of restoration done to these old steel frames with little paint bubbles or spots of rust?
