[QUOTE=tiger1964;22775179]Cleaning up the F&F, the blue paint has few chips but the white more so. I need to hit to a hobby shop, or whatever, does anyone know a good match for the white? It looks like an Old English White (which I hate on cars, my Tiger -- see left -- got repainted 1980's Chrysler vivid white) which maybe, just maybe, can be matched? Looks like some hours with 2000-grit sandpaper trying to blend all the touch-ups.

Rustoleum "Gloss White" is a very close match.


My friend kept the long levers when he switched to a Suntour Honor in, hmm, 1972? clunky-looking thing, but it indeed shifted. I happen to have a NOC short-cage Luxe RD, if I ever use it I'll keep an eye out for spoke clearance, thanks for the warning.


A short-cage Huret Luxe? That could be very lucrative on Ebay if you find yourself feeling a moment of avarice.
