The paint cleaned up really well, not bad for forty years. My pics don't do it justice. The flake shows as a mix of gold/yellow, blue, and a hint of purple.













The frame with BB, headset upper/lower races, and bottle cage + seatpost binder bolts comes in at 2147 g; the fork with crown race at 779 g.

The wheelset that came with the bike is lighter than I'll be riding for a while... 657g front w/ skewer, 1205g rear w/ skewer and freeweel (13-23 6sp steel Sachs Maillard), 1.8mm 3x F&R.

The frame is spaced at 120mm. The rear wheel that came on the bike measures 126.7mm OLD, I'll be going back to 120mm spacing. The rear triangle is quite stiff and I don't want to build stresses into the bike. A set of 32h GP4 rims are on their way to me, I'm waiting for the right deal on hubs - I'll stick with high flange rear, low flange front. The plan is to use a 13-23 Regina CX-S Ultra 6 freewheel that I've got kicking around.

I hope to have this up and running mid-fall - can't wait.
