Nice find on those Persons saddles. :D Those wheels turned out really amazing. Which makes me wonder about this Duplicolor paint? I haven't seen it around and have just been using Rustoleum. I've heard a couple guys talking about Duplicolor--is it a better/tougher paint?
Duplicolor is kinda the same paint you see on the new cars. Just a cheaper version in a can. Check any auto store i guess. Or maybe order it online. I use it all the time.

I'll check it out--thanks!

Looking good. The colors really work well. The leather saddle really completes the bike.

What kind of rims did you get and where did you get them? I have a similar project. I can't get the cranks off either.
 
Could be Miele. See the "M" in the crank design? My wife has a Mammut from Germany from about the same era. Her chain guard is closed so I have never noticed the design. I will check on it.
