Like Luka, I'm working on returning an LM to the road. Mine's a I.
The bike's been outside so the rotors are a bit rusty.
How much rust is too much? Do I wire brush it off or just brake it off?
The diff has leaked fluid onto the 3-4 year old tire's sidewall. Safe? Not?
There are a couple rusty/bubbled spots on tank. What's the quick, simple cheap fix?
Ditto frame. What are some quidelines for determining the solidity of the frame?
The aluminum is dingy throughout. Again, is there a quick, simple, cheap fix?
Many of the fasteners are nasty. Who makes a nice replacement kit?
It's fitted with stainless brake lines. How long do they last? Any maintenance?
All the paint is faded, the bike is an unrestored '78 with a somewhat special drivetrain: Raceco stage II, close-ratio gearbox.
What, if anything else, would you do?
