Re:

I've been painting
Two coats of primer on both frame and fork, one coat of white on the frame and two blue on the forks. Forks have 753 decal in place and are ready for laquering.
One thing I can't figure out, what is this braze-on for - drive side seat stay?

To hold your chain up while you change the wheel. A sign of quality.

Re:

Aah..... I thought it might be chain related, as it's in the chain line, but couldn't figure out why a chain would be right up there :facepalm:

Welcome by the way.

Don't be afraid to ask any possibly stupid questions. I did/do. :mrgreen:

Re:

Hi there, good to see it coming along nicely....

However did you remove the headset cups and the headbadge before painting? You can buy new rivets to re attach the headbadge if you need them on eBay....

I did remove the badge, but not the cups. Something I'm starting to regret a little. :?
Anyway, having seen Maca's awesome paint work, I was feeling under pressure to get on with mine
Decals were put on after a misting the frame with water, so I'll give it a week beside the radiator before lacquering it

Looking good, whose decals did you use?
