Mind it’s a labour of love, you really need to get every last trace of old paint out from everywhere..& when you’ve finished some wag will say they prefer the red!
Currently got some tissue stuffed in the cable loops soaked with thinners to soften up the paint inside.

So the rack eyes have gone… now I’m thinking do I really need this mud catcher, surely a narrow/wide chain ring makes those guide thingies redundant? (Especially as Peachy don’t jump)
Thinking of going down the William Morris route…
