Great bike! Did you apply the decals yourself? I have some to apply and I heard they should be "burnished" with a hard object?

--------does anyone have any suggestions regarding the best object to use?

We are kindred steel spirits. I'm embarking on a Ciocc fix-up and I've been looking at light blue powdercoat colors. Is that powder? 6037 maybe? Very curious. I also just got a great deal on a too-small Basso with the same DA headset that I'm thinking of carrying over and wondering if I should abandon my search for a Record crankset and pick up the $60 Dura Ace at my LBS to match.

That's the Pinarello saddle you picked up a couple months ago?

Well done. Very classy ride. Any tips would be appreciated and most likely utilized.

I did apply them myself, and I have no idea what you mean by burnished. Mine came with instructions and I just followed them and they came out really well.

It is powder but I have no idea what # sorry. The DA headset that I have is a sealed bearing unit and its super smooth. I personally like the look of DA stuff of similar era Record. It is the Pinarello saddle I snagged for a buck. The only real tip I have is to make yourself a list of the small things you need like furrels and stuff I had to go to she shop 3 time because I kept forgeting stuff.

I don't know if they still make them, but I use a burnisher (astonishing, I know). We used to use them in the graphic arts industry for press type and I find them very helpful for restoration these days. Check with an art/drafting supply place. The back of a baby or espresso spoon works too. Suggestion: if this is your first time, you may want to practice. If you have any extraneous decal, try it say underneath the bb. It comes of with some 3M solvent pretty easily (also available form your art/drafting supply)
