This is the mindset I have towards my bike, since it had begun to languish when I spotted it, I had to do new wheels anyways because the rolling stock were bent. Modern wheels and tires are the first step, from there it will be a mix of retro style parts and newer stuff. Even before I got it that was my plan after I figured out a good old steel frame was what I wanted to begin my riding life on, the scenario was to find something old but really good and bring it back from the dead, and so far I'm accomplishing it slowly.
