Regarding Todd Grantham's query: "... if any of you put cloth or rubber or any other material between clamp on items like Derailleurs or shifters to protect the paint and frame underneath...."
there's good advice on protecting paint under clamps/clips in the Classic Rendevous Archives
Search
"clamp" and "paint" and "protect"
at http://search.bikelist.org/
Select "Sort By: Date (newest first)" and select "List to Search: Classic Rendevous" and click on the Search button. Try some other words in combination and you may find more advice.
The CR archives is an invaluable trove of information. Many questions recur on the CR list and not everyone who responded in the past to that question will do so again (and again and again and again and ...). So I find it beneficial to search the CR archives to seek cumulative advice for my question(s). I usually search the CR archives first and don't ask the CR list at first. So many topics have been thoroughly covered over the years that I can usually find what I'm seeking without asking. Topics like what tubular tires you prefer, etc.
