As good as it's going to get any time soon - Stage III
Swapped the original 125mm stem with a 95. That make a GREAT change in the handling and feel of the bike.
I think a lot of the big, old bikes were usually fitted with stems that were way too long and with bigger bikes made many feel trucky.
Black leather handlebar wrap.
Found that Grandis will still supply a very close to original decal set, but at more than $100 it will have to wait for another day,
and since I'm not decalling I'll just clear coat the decal remains and ride.

Some of the answers to my questions from Grandis:
Silvino himself would have brazed the frame
The model name would be "Columbus SL"
The three lobe lug cutout is just a three lobe cutout - no meaning.
It's a '73.
