So I have a dilemma on my hands...
Just got my hands on a lovely 1979 Gazelle (Champion Mondial, A frame) which I'm planning on turning into my new commute bike. Unfortunately, for me and the bike, some fool of a previous owner has gone to town with an angle grinder and taken off a fair few braze-ons (top tube brake cable and shifter bosses) which has then caused the tubing underneath to become exposed and start to rust (see pics attached).
Do I repaint the whole thing to stop it falling into disrepair? Do I touch it up with a new lacquer coat? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
