I recently acquired this 86 Schwinn Tempo off Austin Craigslist. The seller wanted $100 but i got him to take $80 and throw in a set of mismatched wheels. Around the same time I bought a pair of Campagnolo Victory Strada tubular rims laced to 7400 Dura-Ace hubs for freewheel. On these I installed some 700x 23 Continental Sprinter tubulars. I had a hell of a time getting these glued on the rims. Are the Sprinters especially tight? I put on some Suntour Sprint pedals that I have had on hand, which I overhauled today. It came with Shimano Light Action RD and some sort of Shimano FD. The seat post came free easily but is cosmetically compromised. I use my trainer as a work stand.

My rationale for this n+1 is that is the same Tenax frame as my 87 Super Sport with the addition of fender eyelets. I have had a set of 35mm Honjo hammered fenders for years that just might fit. I have thought about just leaving it in its' present stealth beater state, but I think it would really pop powder coated in Super Durable Wet-Black with those polished Honjo hammered fenders.

Does anyone know where I could get one of those little screws that holds the head badge on. What size screw should I look for?
