I like your "gold bits" better than the "NR bits" I had on mine (c'73). Mine also did not have the correct seatpost, and had a saddle worth about $20. Yours also looks to have original paint. Mine did not. I sold mine for $500. So you can go on up from there for yours.

But I did have Corsa EVO CX tires, and my pump was painted/decaled to match the ST.
