Thanks. The frame was made in 1974. Maybe the warts are in my head. Like I had already noted, the stem/handlebar/brake levers need some sorting out, I didn't bother to clean it up after getting the last bits hung on it. There's grease on the top of the headset, smudges here n there. The chrome on one lug is a bit rough..stuff like that but I was anxious to get photos to share with you. Anxious to also ride the thing. I wasn't sure how my liberal use of Campagnolo would go over.. I went with what I had and what I understand. A purist may wonder why I didn't use Simplex or Huret, Normandie n the like.. Truth is if I ride this and really really like it, The long term plan would be to slowly find the best French components and hang them on it. We'll see. I have mixed feelings about this bike. It looks beautiful from a distance and the patina is nice but some of the details are kind of crude (to me anyway) in comparison to the craftsmanship of my Bruce Gordon. Riding this bike will settle the issue in my mind. I will write about it once I put a few miles on it
