Bikes: they change so much I'm tired of updating this

Updated Merckx Professional

Picked this early 80's frame set up at the start of winter, it was in pretty bad shape. Paint was already stripped, and one of the top tube cable guides was rotted off. Since it was already stripped, I made it the way I wanted. I added seat tube water bottle bosses for those longer rides, and I added a braze on derailleur mount. I intend this to be an everyday rider so I wanted high quality automotive base coat clear coat. A buddy that owns a hot rod shop offered to paint it for a lot less than what paint would've cost me. Rear spacing is spread for a blacked out campy 10 speed wheel set, all black 2015 Veloce group, black 3t bars, stem and seat post and top it off with black fizik wrap and a fizik arione saddle. I still need to paint the pantographs in a week or so when the clear fully cures.
