That bike is really in nice shape. Keep the hoods, you just can't find them anymore, and it's okay to keep dry ones on the bike... it proves to the kids that it's old. Wow, even your aluminum shines.
What else you got in the attic???
I actually bought it brand new and I had the original invoice a few years back... hope I can find it... the "Wheeler Dealer" sticker on the down tube matches the invoice.
Here's a shot of the bottom bracket. That's the worst of the dings and rust. Sadly, in '73 or so, I stuck a cheap stand on it and chipped the paint all up. Is there a serial number reference for these? Pretty sure I bought it in 72 or 73.
