After shaping the braze on part I removed the old part rusted ones and prepped the area.  Then brazed on new parts, 3x.  It went pretty easy.

OK, been putting in miles, not enough but better than nothing.  Climbed Gibraltar but unconvincingly.  The rims arrived from Italy and the spokes and nipples and tubulars with mastik.  I built up two wheels and need to do a bit of true up work.

Gnarly chemicals but no more babies for me.  This was all in all a good move as the catalyzed 2 part paint hardened up solid.  The first white coat felt sort of weak,  This stuff was hard.  Well there it is.  Wet sand the surface with 600 grit, take of the shine, good for decal and painting dots.  Dots start with masking punched through with 3/8 hole. Humbrol paints there in the back ground. These decals are awesome: VeloCals https://velocals.com/  Nova Special sticker in 2020!!!! You gotta be kidding! Well I cut off the X.  I bought the rest of the ...
