Picked this up last month. Changed the bartape (to white ribbon) and tyres, swapped the missed matched brakes for some nice Shimano 600EX, re-instated a Suntour Cyclone ii front mech and hit the saddle with a suede brush. All is looking fairly good except for the back-to-front right simplex shifter sitting where the left cyclone shifter should be. I'm hoping to track one down before impatience forces me into the costly arms of vintage parts dealer. If anyone has one knocking around please PM me! Oh, I'm also after a SR pedal dust cap but that's less important...
Now, the only other problem is where something has scratched or corroded an fair-sized area of chrome from the forks. My plan here is to remove the surface rust and patch over the bare metal with a piece from one of VeloBitz's chrome effect chain stay protectors - they're good quality and thin enough that it shouldn't be too visible. Are there any reasons why this is bad idea? I'm new to road bikes (vintage or otherwise) so any advice would be very welcome.
cheers
