As promised - pics. Maybe they can get bigger if desired. There is a nice looking nervar crank set I have my eye on. It'll look proper. Long reach brakes seem to be in my future. I have a friend who makes an excellent case for Mafac Racers, but I don't like the wire hanging right down the middle of the head tube, and too many past times have I gotten my thumb poked in the frayed end of it, so I want a side pull solution, long reach. Once I understand the advantage of cold setting for a 126mm hub w/6 speed free wheel as opposed to staying at 120mm spacing and using an 'ultra 6' I'll proceed with all that. But unless cold setting really means not having to deal with a tight squeeze every time I remove the r wheel I'd just assume go ultra 6, or even 5 speed free wheel. I'm not racing, just a regular rider, who'd really like a lovely smooth drive chain to get me from the suburbs into nyc and home again on my trusty vintage bike. As for derailleur, seat, stem/quill, handlebars, break handles (definitely new egro ones that I can steer with safely), and paint - that'll come, and it'll be exiting to see.
Thanks.
