Appreciate the offer

I agree with your points. The paint will not be touched, you can trust me on that one. I've done a fair bit of de rusting the chromed areas and I'm going to give it a good coat of wax before I start building it up. The reason I hadn't started it yet was because I didn't have the proper fork for it. The previous owner had a vitus aluminum one on, oh well. Agree on the parts mixing too. Probably not going full campy on this one, however much it deserves it. And I probably will not have the components all cleaned up like I'd like at first(aesthetically ), since I am pretty anxious to put some miles on it. But they will be mechanically sound. The PO used to race this one so it had/has an interesting mix of stuff.
