Ruso Rad, from Zurich!
Hello,
Just pick up my "new" road bike! I want it a blue bike, now I have one.
I never heard of "Ruso", presumably a Swiss rider with a small workshop in Zurich!?
Things to do: cleaning and search for saddle,aero seatpost, rims and tire.
I realy hate the black rims! I will try to clean the black glossy paint (i hope is paint!) while I search for some vintage silver rims!

The wheelset looks to be of a pretty good quality I would expect them to be fairly light. I know the black color makes them look heavy but I doubt a different wheelset would by lighter or much better on this bike.

Agreed -- those wheels should perform just fine. But they do look a little bit anachronistic on a lugged steel frame. Whether you care about that is up to you. Nice bike, in any case!

Very happy today, I just receive the original shifters, SL6300: https://www.bike-vintage.com/lang-de/...-shifters.html
I pay 10$!
And I almost finished cleaning and polishing the rims. Sorry, no picture.
