please do not convert it. Ride it as what it is. It sounds beautifull, and to replace that for the moment would be a crime. I have two cheaper frames in my basement if you're looking for a project, you just have to pay shipping. 57 and 58 cm. Please do not convert it. A well maintained classic road bike is borderline art especially campy.
again, please do not.
or at least leave the original paint, and braze ons if youmust. then when you realize what it was, you can re convert it to its once great glory. just hold onto everything that comes off of it.
