Hi, so I think (hope?) I got a good deal on this bike... I paid 80$ for it, and it's remarkably shiny for what I can guess is a 70s bike. The gears and chain don't look like they've seen much use, but the frame has a lot of cosmetic scratches and is even missing a bit of paint in a few spots, so I guess I'll have to touch it up a bit. I would like to upgrade all the steel on this bike and use it for touring, as I gather they are good touring rigs.
Here are some photos:
It has simplex derailers, aluminum maillard hubs, weinman centre pull brakes. It's got a sticker that looks like it's 531 reynolds as well. Steel cottered crank, it's a 10 speed too. Is there any way to tell if it has a heliomatic hub in the back?
