Molteni Merckx Restoration Monday November 07/2011

Back to the paint dilemma. I went in to Cyclepath today to return a tool and started talking paint to Jeff. Anyway, he showed me an old Cambio Rino he had repainted many, many years ago. It is in enamel with decals over the paint and no clear coat, very period. It actually lools good. Bottom line I am going to discuss the paint with my painter in person when I drop off the frame and go from there. 

My patent 73 Record front derailleur showed up in the mail today. I wasn’t happy to notice the nut that holds the clamp shut was missing. I emailed the seller and hopefully it will be rectified because the derailleur is in nice shape. I managed to use a spare nut from another Campagnolo derailleur and it works like a charm, (for now).
