Afternoon folks
I know it's been a while but I finally have an update about my saba Equipe restoration project.
The frame's currently with Catherine Neary at Universal Cycle Centre in Maltby and has been shot blasted and had its primer coat applied. After some frustration with the accuracy of the initial replacement transfers that I bought off eBay, which just weren't close enough to the original decals for my liking, Catherine's assisted in scanning and recreating a much more accurate set which I'm very happy with...
My frame should get its sparkly new coat of metallic blue paint in a few weeks and make a nice Winter project once the paint's had some time to cure.
I have a lovely box of goodies ready to go now including a pair of NOS saba toe straps, a pair of NOS saba handlebar end plugs and a stunning NOS saba pantographed Cinelli 1R stem still in its original packaging
I can't wait!
More to follow...
Cheers
