Just wanted to report back on this sweet, sweet bike. I cleaned it up a little, swapped out the wheels for some Velocity Aeroheads laced to Suzue Pro Max High Flange hubs and Pasela Panaracers. I replaced the chainring with a Sugino 46T and a new 17T lockring. New Slyvan MKS pedals. And obviously I removed the non-stock stickers, the grips, and added my B17 to it. This bike is so responsive and the wheelset is light yet stiff. Even running 25s on the streets it is fine. It is a real pleasure to ride and although I wasnt crazy about the gold paintjob at first it is really growing on me.

Next step is to replace the brake with a Dia Compe Gran Compe 610 center-pull but I need to get a new headset with a smaller stack height. And either grips or tape.
