Miyata 1000 Photos...   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #399 of 2563 |
Hey people. I just posted some photos of my 1981 Miyata 1000 in the
photos section. I've modified it quite a bit (and more to come!). Now
has newer Shimano triple crank, moustache bars, Shimano bar end
shifters etc. I'm in the process of building up some 700c Mavic
A319/Shimano XT wheels for it too, and will most likely upgrade to 7
or 8 speed rear cassette and swap the Huret Duopar r/derailleur for
something compatible with Shimano indexing...enjoy...

George, Any local hardware store worth its salt will carry several brands of spray paint. For what you want to do, "Chrome Silver" will work best. Use it to...

Yes, all seriousness aside, cleaning wheels: If the spokes in question are non-stainless, they may well be galvanized (zinc electroplated), in which case the...

Hints tips and clues, Thanks!  Now I have a plan. The best possible route to take may be to go with the glitter. Being an elementary teacher, I have glitter...
