Wow, what a great job Kevin, for a first attempt at bike restoration this is beyond words actually. I knew we were working on similar bikes, yous outshines mine by miles and miles, Chapeau Sir. I have to agree with everything you said about the guys here, and how much help they are when you are starting out with this corner of the bicycling world. I have learned so much from the Learned Elders of C&V, no one was overbearing or acted superior towards me, just good helpful knowledge.

I didn't risk digging into the Regina freewheels that I used for both the Tommasini and the Medici. Both were sent to @pastorbobnlnh for his Freewheel Spa Treatment, it is well worth the small cost. Those are the smoothest and quietest freewheels I have ever had the pleasure of using, including then new Regina and SunTour, back in the day. You learn very fast and very well, and everything looks fantastic on your Tommie.

I hadn't paid attention to how close you are to where we live, if you get over this way be sure to give me a shout so we can ride some.
