Winner winner chicken dinner! Yes sir, MaFac. After several wet winters in Oly commuting to college, I decided I needed more brake so I had canti bosses brazed on (and added bottle cage bosses too!). I get some strange looks. Still has all the decals on it from a cross continent trip. Plus Suntour barcons, Avocet hubs laced to Super Champion rims, 6 speed freewheel, TTT stem, original Stronglight BB, crank & comp headset, Time pedals, Pivo bars, the Idealle Record Saddle is long in the tooth but good for short rides. A bit of chrome peel, paint dings, but rolls sweet and lots of memories. Wrecked bad twice but bike never damaged other than potato chipped wheel. Could use a full respray but then...wouldn't really be the same.
