Read your thread of Melton bikes. I have been riding a Melton for a while now and was wondering where I could find new decals. From what I gather from the forum discussions the bicycle designer is no longer making them.
My frame is in need of new paint. I have read the comments of chip repair and clear coat which worked for quite a few years for me.
The frame (58 crank to TT) I have is oval steel tubing that is tapered and neither weld lines nor lugs are visible no serial number visable. The cables are routed thru the frame. Traditional red paint and the decals are similar to the huge frame seen on one of the forum pictures. The wheels I believe are the original 27 inch on quality hubs of unknown manufacture. Campy brakes/ crank/ rear derailer, and Dura-ace front derailer and 6 spd friction levers. I have no photo's at this time. Maybe some of you folks can help determine the year made. It rides very nicely and when encountering a rolling hill area and is very responsive. I have been using the Mobile 1 syn grease for quite a few years now and change out the ball bearings every 2nd year on all my road bikes, quite happy with the performance even on winter rides of 20 degrees. However, on the bearing cups the dust seal rubber has deteriorated do you know of replacements.

Your help is appriciated if you can
