Glad this thread was resurrected.
I add my belated congrats on a beautiful reimagining of a worthy vintage frame.
Glad to hear your son is really liking it.
About a month ago I bought myself a 85 610.
Mine's the catalog listed Burnt Sienna color
which reminds me of a brown with copper highlights, coppery brown if you will.
This bike rides mighty nice!
The only original parts are the crank arms plus 44T ring.
I have also converted to 700c wheels
(H-Plus Son rims/105 Hubs)
and maxed out the tire size.
A true to stated size 700 x 42.
Yep, barely clears on true wheels.
By the way I had no issue installing a
26.8 Shimano 600 seat post in mine.
