Molteni Merckx Restoration Saturday November 05/2011

Got up early in the morning today and drove down to the border to pick up a the replacement Nuovo Record rear derailleur as well as the Nuovo Record bottom bracket. The rear derailleur was in fantastic shape for a Patent ’73 albeit the jockey wheels were broken. That was an easy fix, as I swapped out the wheels from my other Campagnolo rear derailleur. The bottom bracket was also in fantastic shape. I really can’t wait to get this put together.

Bottom bracket…

…and one word only for the Nuovo Record rear derailleur…Sexy!
