Also, I have a 1976 Nishiki International and the decals are really dried and cracked. I want to remove them safely without harming the paint. I tried using a blow dryer to heat them up, but failed. Is there such thing a a plastic razor blade, or anything along these lines?
Any help appreciated here gents and ladies.
I had some luck with acetone (fingernail polish remover) on some glue like stuff on my SST fork that was in there under the spacers of the steerer tube. I was installing the Paul Flatbed (the stem mount is real tight on the steerer). Now to find a good bar to replace the bullhorns now that they get in the way of the rack... something townie ish, a lil wider to manage any weight on the rack, and not to much forward of the stem.
Also used the acetone on some leftovers from the made in china stickers and such...
I also have a 1979 Nishiki International in storage (all original)... I should dig it out and see if I can restore a road bike out of it. Good luck with yours!
