I have one that I ride everyday. Its a delightful riding bike. I keep my eye peeled in local shops for one in better original condition.
Thanks, silversmith. It looks like it will be a good rider. Compared to my Bridgestone, it is about 1/8" taller seat tube, 1/2" shorter top tube and 1" longer chainstays.

The only concern I have is some rust on the spokes. I'm sure I can clean it up with some elbow grease and magic potions, but I wonder if there is a danger of them breaking. I checked and the brakes will adjust enough for 700c wheels to work, but it would be a shame not to use those good rims and hubs.
