I'd like to find a place to strip the frame and re-shoot the green paint and re-chrome the fork/seat and chain stays. I guess from there, it goes without saying that a new set of decals would be nice. All the equipment is there, I'd just like to bring it all back to it's former glory. Time hasn't been horrible to it, but it does show its years (however many those may be).

I also want to build a set of wheels for it using some high flange hubs. It had the original tubulars on it but they kind of freak me out (I hear sew-ups are a pain to patch/replace) and the guy who sold it to me switched the wheels to a decent set of rims that take clinchers.

I plan on getting a honey Brooks saddle and a similar colored roll of cork tape. Just minor things.
