fork ends appear stamped
to find period correct high quality fittings individually could deflate wallet
would think it likely to have expressed an 8V drive train

I was warned by the seller to be careful on the steerer size for the headset. He was sure it is a 1” steerer. I also measured it (a couple of times) at 1” I’ll check a few more times since they are rare and not cheap. . From what I read the 31/32 is more common.
yeah, this may not be cheap to build out. A lot of it will depend on the choices ranging from patina to parts.
The rear is around 111mm so not a 5 speed. I need to do some researching and decision making on if I want to spread the drop outs to 120ish.
