After riding a Giant OCR 1 for the past few months, I'm curious to see how this ride differs. Been about 30 years since put any real miles on it. I took it for a quick spin before tearing it apart for cleaning, painting, etc., and it felt pretty good. I'd like to do a century on it next summer, but don't know if that's a realistic expectation. I guess it would have been back in the '70s, so why not now?

I'll post some pics when it's all done. I think mine is basically the Pro, although the frame is slightly different. The original Weinmann front brake won't work with the chrome fork, unfortunately, so I think I'll have to put the original Landar center-pull brakes from the base model on this one, which is a shame. But less of a shame than crashing, I guess.

Does your Pro have the Shimano Titelist RD? What's on the front? I've got a Suntour Spirt on mine, but I'm not sure if that's the original FD or not.
