Very Nice! The cables should be behind the bars, and not sure on the red housings, but it looks really great! How does it ride?

Great story and stunning bike! I hope you won't keep it from riding and hit the road with it every now and then.

Thanks for catching the brake cable. I have minor adjustments to make to dial it in. I'm a bit rusty riding a bike with downtube shifters. The ride quality and handling are impressive , its hard to believe its 40 years old. I plan on installing a set of 28c tubulars to soften it up a bit.

I have been riding mine most often of late. Time for a drive train solvent wash even.
