Alternatively I may just fix it up and give it to my nephew as it will fit him fine. Plus the bike is about 2x as old as he is which he will like.
I have two competition framesets, both 1973. One is the size of yours and it will be mine forever. I love it. The second is the next size down and pretty rough looking but seems to be a side frameset. It does have a stuck seat post though. Also I have the stoke jubilee derailleurs for it.
