Bumping for relevance. Picked up this '84 660 for $120 off CL a couple weeks ago. Needs some cleanup, has quite a few miles, tape and hoods are shot, but it appears mostly original sans pedals - on that note, what pedals originally came on the '84, and is there a decent source for the yellow Benotto Cello/Celocinta Pro tape for less than $20?

Tire on this one was flat so I tossed another pair of Maillard-hubbed 700c on it to take it for a ride. Light and responsive but felt aggressive (not sure if I like). The Modolo brakes are craptastic and kept lurching even when tight. RD and FD were both ill-adjusted, fixed before heading out.

Not necessarily my bag of chips, going to rebuild anyway, try with a different seat, properly adjusted, and diff't pedals and see how it goes.
