That Carnielli/Bottechia is a real eye-catcher. Beautiful bike.

Not a perfect match but really just looking to protect the metal from rust

Getting ready to start the tear down and rebuild on this Tempo. Any good tips for cleaning up the rust around the top tube cable guides.

Fitted some VO Porteurs to my Randonneur pick up for initial fitout as shopping bike. Test fitted wheels and milked enough adjustment out of the 80's Shimano canti brakes for 700C (though I'll rebuild some 27" wheels and run a 7 speed freewheel). Just needs some thought on gears now...

Spent an hour or so cleaning up a pair of Lambert crank arms that I want to put on my next build with some VO 46/30 chainrings.
They polished up much nicer than I anticipated!
Before:
After:
Something I've been wondering, does anybody know for sure what kind of spindle these need? The guy I bought them from on a Google group told me that they take an ISO taper, so a Campagnolo BB should work fine with them.
But I saw something not too long ago on here that was planning on using a standard JIS tapered spindle?
They definitely are tapered, not for the old Lambert non-tapered square spindle.

The "aero" trend of that era was just full of these misguided efforts at streamlining.
Good work!

Just trueing up an older, but totally excellent wheel built with a vintage Phil wood hub laced to a mavic rim. I think the hub may be from the 70s

60's Grundig KS680. Should be interesting as I know next to nothing about vintage audio. Will be a fun winter project.

I picked up a Grundig console several years ago.....for free. This was back in my guitar tube amp building days and the Grundig was outfitted with a bunch of Telefunken tubes. I kept several for my own use and did really well selling the remainder.

I can't believe you're going to try to use those brakes again.
