The "Old Nago" is back from some repair work in Indianapolis to mitigate frame damage. Before pictures:

Rust bloom on underside of top tube

Rust damage to BB shell

More of the rust blooms

And now some of the after pictures:

The shell after serious sandblasting and refinishing

There is a small dent on the stay that still shows. But the folks at PKI do some nice detail work cleaning up the frame prior to coating

The coat is nice enough that the lug detail shows clearly

Even matching bottle cage

The rust blooms are not even able to be seen after the PKI treatment

It will be fun to see what happens to this one now that it has passed it's 50th birthday. Smiles, MH
