I got the frame back from the sandblaster yesterday. It came out a nice consistent frosted texture. Now to polish the lugs! Vintage transfers has my decals!
I am making good progress on the frame.
Unfortunately the plater, used to much current during the nickel plating process and damaged the frame! I was not very happy.
The ground wire cut into the tubes like a grinder with a cutoff wheel in two places.
There was excessive nickel buildup around the lugs, too.
So, I got out my arsenal of diamond files, and Dremel and went to work getting rid of the nickel buildup around the lugs as well as brazing up the cuts in the frame. The cuts were up to .012
I am rebuilding a 1960s Taurea road bike for my wife. The decals and chrome have suffered through the decades, as you can see in the photos. If anyone has photos to share so I can determine what the decals looked like, as well as decal placement, it would be most helpful. If anyone has had decals made, it would be great to know who you used for that (I did not find any in velocals).
I am also looking for a Taurea head badge as well as decals to purchase - if anyone has those to sell, I would be interested.
Thanks!

is the washer visible in the shell something connected to a string or wire that allows you to hang the frame in an upright position without any part of it being clamped?
Thanks for the replies.
Have a lot going on, so I can’t show very much in the way of progress.
I did machine a bracket for the front derailleur. The way the frame was built it made it almost impossible to mount a front derailleur without a braze on mount.
I did not want to change the frame that much, so I machined a mounting bracket for it.
I have a home made bike stand I’m using right now.

Thanks for the kind compliments.
I did purchase the Head badge up thread.
The one for 12 euros. It looks much nicer than in the picture.
These are pics of the handle bars I got back from the plater.
Thanks!
I put a lot of hours in sanding the bars from 220 - 2000 grit sandpaper as well as polishing, being very careful not to take to much material off.
It saved me some money, but more importantly it gave me the control in how they would look after the chrome plating process.
I found a couple of Taurea bikes on line.
It seems they are from the 40s as well.
check this https://www.frameteller.it/2022/08/22/taurea-2/ for your bicycle.
I'm trying to identify a Taurea? that has serial number down on the bottom bracket (see picture).
Is your on the saddle lugs? please post a picture of frame serial number position.
