Garland asked:
1. I'm going to remove the braze on's that have been added (brake cable guides, derailleur cable guides, shifter bosses etc.) What I'm wrestling with are the water bottle braze on's. -snip- My main reservation here is the tube is at it's most thin at this point. Suggestions? Leave 'em alone is what I'd do, prolly be glad to have them if you chose to ride it when finished. 2. When did pantographing equipment begin? If you're talking the clubs and milling on the seatpost, script and clubs on stem, etc ... 1972-73 is the earliest legit example I am aware of. 3. What colors did Colnago use at this time? Enamels are what I have seen. Seem much more durable than paints selected even a year or two later. My '71 is unrestored and white, my '72 is a very interesting green... also unrestored original and yes it has bottle bosses(!) Pics are in my wool jersey folder marked "Italian"
