After nearly 35 years somethings have given all, but already sourced replacement Dia Compe hoods. This bike will take time to restore, lot of work to do on the chrome and surface rust here and there where a frame pump rubbed through, but it's all there ....and it fits....

And for once I know the end of the story of this bike, as attached to the top tube, is the last race of this bike, a Jacksonville Florida tri-athalon race number, and on the seat tube there is where it all began, the Jacksonville bike shop it was sold from...priceless.




A labor of love, a father's day to remember.
