Got a lot more done on mine today... got some shims for the stem from Velo Orange, and water bottle cage clamps, got the wheels dialed in and the tires installed; found some old Blackburn racks front and rear, got those installed along with the brakes calipers and crank arms. Dug up a set of pedals and a '62 Brooks swallow seat I think I'm going to use. Going slow because I have to find the parts, clean and rebuild and fix the missing striped pieces/screws. Maybe tomorrow I can finish it up and take some pics.
Interestingly, I've seen a guy waiting for the bus when I take my son to school in the morning, he has a bike that looks cool. I noticed last time I passed its an old Carlton, I'll have to stop and take a look next time I see him.
