Purdy. Agreed a black seat would look nice.

No. Unless you are going full C-record.

Yes to black seat.

I'll take that white Turbo off your hands if you take everyone's suggestions to replace it. I've been looking for one.

I vote C-Record. Best looking crank ever, IMO.

I would follow the recommendations I gave above and then ride the bike for a season or two.

I personally wouldn't race to put C Record on the bike until you are totally certain you are in love.

Even then, I would likely choose Super Record for rideability.

I am pretty sure that this will not be one of my main riders...it is a tad too small...but...I simply love the look...that is why I am considering the C Record...much more attractive in my opinion than standard Super...but...that is just an opinion...

Yes, quite attractive, no doubt.

Function? Not my first choice from that era.

I actually prefer SR over C, but my top choice is DA. Imho.......
