[QUOTE="69ST, post: 166199, member: 5"] Speedo cables are available new (reproduction) from NEVC, dratv, et al. If you're going to do a custom re-foam & cover on the seat, intact K1 foam is rare. Either retain it for "someday" or offer it up for sale and recoup a few piasters. New chainguards are also available and Candy Ruby red is the most common color. It won't match your frame but, it should look decent...way better than a black, or silver, one. No idea what you're referring to about soda blasting "the aluminum". The folding handlebar clamp and brake plates can be polished back to stunningly good effect, if you know what you're doing...or willing to put in the extra elbow grease. If these are the parts to which you alluded, don't use blast media harder than walnut shells, or you'll just profile the surfaces. Seriously, a couple of afternoons spent wetsanding with 400-1500 grit paper (in progressive stages) will leave the surfaces smooth enough to hand-polish using Mother's Mag & Aluminum polish. A wheel is a lot faster, if you have one and the bar compounds needed. [/QUOTE]
