Update: Took a quick look at the bike last night; yet again, didn't think to take the camera along. Uh, it does not look good for a patina-preserving restoration, guys. Actually, the painted surfaces are not as bad as I thought and maybe polishing compound (and patience) could save it. The chrome, alas, is horrid. Stays and forks show little chrome, unless the corrosion buffs off it would be one pathetic finish. I'm afraid to touch the crank arms due to the peeling -- I've had "chrome splinters" before and they hurt. The Gran Sport RD looks like it should clean up nice.
