Molteni Merckx Restoration

A day late, but as promised, here are the pictures of the paint.



The handlebars were wrapped in vintage Tressostar tape in the style that Merckx used by starting from the centre and working down.  I actually liked this because it is really clean at the centre with no need for electrical tape, hockey tape or any other type of tape.  The reason I epoxied the brake lever posts to the bars earlier is because this way you can remove the lever itself, and have a much cleaner wrap all the way down the bar.





Now, I just need to wait for the frame to be finished up.  The suspense/wait is killing me.
