great advocate of bicycling, and friendly.

As for my leather saddles I use a beeswax treatment, same as for my leather hiking boots.
Called KIWI Camp Dry Beeswax Waterproofer. It's Lanolin, fragrance free- does a nice job.

Having recently restored my Peugeot, I applaud your decision to restore first.
I went online to the Testors (hobby enamel paint) site and ordered one of their kits for touchup work with a fine brush. Amazing what a good job it did.

Be sure to post your progress or finished pics. Good Luck.

Oh, also, Park Tool makes CB-2 Citrus ChainBrite product that cleans up chain rings, cranks derailleurs real nice and easy and good. Apply with an old paintbrush and wash it off. Available @ local bike shop.
