Yes and no. The frame is way too small for me, so that will hopefully end up with a new, correctly-sized owner someday, after we've established what it's made of and who built it. But most of the parts will definitely end up on my own rides. The wheels I'm certainly keeping (high-flange Normandy hubs, tied and soldered spokes, early Weinmann rims - wait 'till I've cleaned them up and shod them with some decent tires). The same goes for the Universal 61 brakes and levers. I've been looking to try those pretty Italian MAFAC alternatives for a quite a while now.

I'll let myself out.
Actually, that saddle looks rather snazzy IMO, is in quite decent shape, and feels less hard than it looks. I remember [MENTION=64748]devinfan[/MENTION] posting one a while back that I fell in love with. So I'm definitely going to try it.

One of the things I want to find out. My first thought was EKLA, but I haven't been able to match them as yet.

I spent thirty minutes looking for my calipers, following your question. Didn't find them, pulled the seat post, and read in nice huge print: 26.8

Hermesse. And unfortunately it's just the drive side crank. The other one is missing, along with the last half inch of the otherwise very nice Stronglight spindle ...
