I thought I would give an update on my progress on getting new wheels for my bike and with your help, was successful. I found some 700c wheels on Kijiji and couldn't resist the price so picked them up. There weren't a ton of options listed on the buy & sell sites. Local bike shops are under COVID 19 restrictions, and I've found online orders (other than Amazon) are really slow so I picked these up and a cassette. They were wider than what I was looking for but have now decided that's OK. I already have 2 road bikes that I use for Zwifting or long rides so I want this bike to be a nice casual ride down for a coffee or cruise with my lady, not a racer. I went 700c 28mm tires.
Now looking for advice on paint and a seat. The picture cut off the top but it's a racing bike seat so not comfortable but I'm also not looking for some wide bum beach cruiser bike seat. Something in between so open to suggestions.

For the paint, I know most would recommend stripping it down and re-painting but I'm not there yet. Too much work and I want to be riding this so I'm thinking of looking at touch up auto paints if I can find a match? thoughts?
