Retro Newbie
Retro newbie here, & my Bob Jackson which has suffered a bit in the garage. I though it was time I sorted a restoration & wouldn't mind a bit of advice.
Hopefully the images have uploaded. The spec is:
Bob Jackson 653 custom, close clearance with Cinelli cast lugs & semi-concealed brake cable
Cinelli Criterium bars, Dura-Ace aero stem
Campag C Record brake levers, seatpost, headset, friction downtube levers, 53/42 chainset, bottom bracket, braze-on front mech, rear mech
Dura-ace 13-18 block
Dia Compe aero brakes (also have Campag Delta to fit)
Campag Record 36 hole (I think) large flange hubs
Mavic semi-aero rims
Brooks Colt saddle (Also have white Selle San Marco Rolls)
Avocet speedo
At the moment have some old "Aerolite" pedals, though will fit some Crank Bros eggbeaters when I get it going (for compatibility with my MTB)
Does this have potential? The frame definitely needs refinishing, so no probs there, but not sure about colours (something vintage?) & really not sure what to to about the dull alloy & the chrome fasteners. I don't want to ruin logos etc. Should I look to swap any parts?
Cheers for help
