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.

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.
