Thanks Colin. Hopefully my LBS will be finished with the 73 SS tomorrow and I will get some pictures up soon.

The 87 Super Sport frame and forks arrived today and I think this frame fits me. I slipped on a 700C wheelset and I was able to straddle the top tube flat footed. It feels about the same as the Peloton so I think it is 56cm and not 58cm. Now I need to decide if I am going to touch up and polish or do a complete repaint. There is some surface rust and some painted areas that are bubbling up. The following photos are from the ebay auction:
