The first parts to be thoroughly cleaned, polished, and installed were, of course, the bottom bracket...



the headset...




and the rear brake cable stop/release. The lever for the release was extremely close to the seat stay, and rather than risk chipping the paint, I added a spacer behind the bracket. The spacer is simply an axle spacer that I bent around a piece of pipe to get an approximate curve. Then I bolted it together with a Campagnolo toe clip bolt. I did so without the seatpost in place so I could gage how much the bolt needed to be shortened so it wouldn't interfere with the seatpost once fully assembled.









At the same time I was cleaning and polishing other components. Everything gets completely disassembled and cleaned before polishing, assembly, and a final wax to deter oxidation.





I also found a replacement for the short 65mm 3TTT stem. I have short legs but a long torso, so I found this 95mm stem to get my handlebar reach to fit correctly.
