I added parts as I found them. I rebuilt the BB and asked on here loose ball bearings or caged and just about started a war between the different camps. Rebuilt wheel hubs as well and pretty much everything is added on or replaced.

The bars would have had something called “shiny tape” I prefer a bit of padding so that didn’t happen and a “DID Lanner” chain which I didn’t even go look for. The pedals are MKS but they don’t have period appropriate straps yet. The seat would have been a “Feather FFV-85 but I added an old San Marco I had. Rear rim is the Ukai it came with while the front is now (I think) a Ukai as well. Brakes levers are Dia Compe 144g with aftermarket Cane Creek hoods. Tires are Gatorskins

I know that the paint is badly worn and that the decals are ruined. The odd paint spots are cover-up over rust spots and nicks. I plan to repaint with a brush and I believe I will find a very close match to the original blue at the rear and then slowly transition to a light blue as I move forward.
