More pics.

Old dependable Criterium from 1972 for the missing RD, which would have been the unobtanium Simplex Raid Export- a 1-year only model.

Seatpost, Simplex clamp, sadfle rails all good condition.

Lyotards in good shape.

These things are a lot of work. Sand off all casting marks, scrapes and scratches, first 120-grit, then 240, then 400, then 0000-grade steel wool, then add 3-in-1 oil to the steel wool, then polish with Meguiars Cleaner Wax. Voila! 62-year-old new calipers. (About 4 hours per caliper)

Good old well-used Ideale 80.

Most of the paint and graphics turned out this nice.

Somebody at New Star wasn't paying attention. One un-punched hole. Ready for new spokes, Rigida AL-1320 rims, and Panaracer Paselas 700x25c.
