Hi everyone in Retrobike land. I need your help and experience. I am starting on my journey to restore a 1970 Allin Stan Butler Special 531 road bike.I will be riding this on the 2026 Eroica in Italy (hopefully) I have now almost fully stripped the frame and have discovered that the BB shell is...
I have a Stan Butler Special possibly 1970 vintage. As you can see the previous owner started to sand the paint off. Luckily he left enough to identify the frame details. Going to rebuild for the Eroica 2026 in Italy. I am going period Campagnolo Nouovo Record. Any suggestions on paintwork?
