Thanks, all, for the nice comments on the Moto. It's been a fun project. This is the one I was looking for ID help on a few months ago, finally decided it was a repainted '74 CT (or TC if you believe the catalogs). It handles like a high-end bike for sure, similar to the Masi though I haven't really pushed it hard enough to know.
Yes, that is the 5-speed ProCompe (or whatever 5-speed you sent me). And after I've finally become accustomed to running with 6 I now have to learn 5 all over again. It'll be like the old days.
The crank has TA rings but the arms are actually Nervar which I got from rhm. Long history with those rings. I'd bought them for Sharon's bike long ago, later sent them to rhm. He recently returned the rings and sent me those Nervar arms. They look sharp and seem to work well. Plus, they are French!
Dallas, it has been a while, and yes we do need to do more riding together. Good to see you posting again.
