I've also replaced the 650c fork with a 700c. I'll try restore the 650c fork as it's plagued with rust :( If not sandblast and repaint might b the only option.
With the "new" fork + seatpost + rust freeish
Got rid of large chunk of rust on the seatpost tubing area. Put the shine back. Now I need some sort of clear varnish to prevent / protect her from elements. Suggestion?
"new" fork + serviced headset w/ spacer
Gipiemme Strada 170mm crankset. Will be getting a more realistic chainring.
Campagnolo C-Record seatpost
More to come.
Cheers

Afterall my objtive of getting a vintage frame is to preserve it's charisma.
However if the rust returns then it leaves me no choice but to blast it.
