), uhhh MKS Sylvan track pedals ?(too cheap for the Campagnolos), a really ****ty hub and tires that I plan on upgrading, gran compe stem...
My color scheme is going to be beige with a deep leather brown stripe on the seat tube and on the lugs and some faux gold leaf around the lugs because they're so pretty
I'll keep you posted. So far All I've got is the base coat on top of the primer.
(Just primer)
Oh! Oh! Pretty!!!!
We'll need photos in the C & V forum, too (you didn't take off any of the braze ons or anything, did you?
)
