I should add that I could have installed straight bars with a back sweep. And, I added my name on the down-tube over the clear-coat. I had a 1977 Raleigh Professional with early Phil Wood hubs stolen from me. The sticker takes away from the look, but it’s better than having the bike taken from me. I still think about that bike. At that time - it was one of the better bikes and I zipped around on that thing all over Cleveland. I even made some panniers for it and wobbled on some camping trips and long distance rides. Ignorance is bliss. Thanks for the technical discussion about this. Wish I knew about this site before I struck out blindly.

most of the components were new and NOS and reasonably priced from ebay. Wheelset was used but in mint condition. Most had free shipping. Sellers made price offers so I wasn’t in a hurry.
my next project is an older Bianchi cyclocross and the bars and wheels from this etc are going on that for my son for a pseudo zip around road bike. I wish Velo-cals was still around!
