Found some time to go on with the Scorpio.
I cleaned and regreased the Tange headset so now the bike can be ridden in any direction and not only straight ahead. The old grease was solid chewing gum.
Fitted some white Ritchey cork bar tape cause i couldn't find any neon yellow one but i'm very pleased with the way it looks and feels. It was my first bar tape i ever fitted but nonetheless it went pretty straight forward after watching some Youtube videos on how to do that.

I got new white cable housings after buying two different yellow ones that were described as citron yellow but neither one were kind of neon. If you know were to get some real neon yellow cables please let me know. I know they must be out there...
The bike now also got a Shimano 600 tricolour rear mech and a matching crank set as well.
Not sure i want to use the Shimano PD-6401 pedals that are now attached to the bike since i'm used to riding clips but for now they look fine since they are white.

I wanted to fit some F.Moser AER brakes to the bike which were used together with my Moser brake levers but for some reason which i'm unable to figure out i couldn't get the brake blocks in a position in which they wouldn't destroy the tire.
I had another pair of brakes to try, some older Shimano 600 ones but with them it was the same problem.
So after fiddling an hour or two with this problems i decided to clean the Shimano Exage Action brakes and put them back on. The brake blocks are new and i guess that's the most important thing about the brakes but if there is anyone who can shed some light on this please don't hesitate. This is my first road bike so i really have no clue what this is about..maybe these brakes are for different wheel sizes?
After that i got rid of all the unnecessary Castrol and Uncle Sam stickers and cleaned the frame as good as i could.
The things left to do are getting a white Turbo saddle..since the original Raleigh one won't fit my behind...
Sourcing a clamp for my tricolour front mech and maybe get a new seat post will be up next. I'm thinking of an anodised purple one or maybe a white one..what do you think? And finally i will need a new 6 speed compatible chain. Any ideas?
Google came up with a Shimano CN-UG51 and a KMC Z50. Should i give one of these a try or are there any obvious choices i'm too dumb to find?
