I'm not worried about weight, no pain no gain right? I think the plan now is to pretty up the Univega and ride it through the winter here (as wintery as it gets on the island) then off load it in the summer and build a bike the way I want it. Thanks for the input and I'll throw pics up after the build is finished. Made a bit of a mess grinding braze ons so the top tube is getting wrapped in inner tube and I'd like a sticker for my down tube - no one has any clues on when the SSFG Bike forums stickers will be done do they? I'm about to throw some clear on it.
