Amani, I actually want to keep it stock as possible, and I am gonna try to keep the same paint. As gorgeous as that 'Becane looks I am gonna shy away from it. I decided after looking at the work that is going to go into it, its not worth ruining by just beating to hell, she will be fast, don't worry. I'll take plenty of pics as I go along, lol. If I mess up at any time, just yell at me.

I am well aware that those were stickers were definitely not stock lol, after some further investigation, its actually one of my uncles old bikes that he gave to my dad years ago. My dad was never into road biking so she just sat in the garage forever. My uncle is the one that put the Campognolo and Penzoil stickers on there, I wonder if he didn't like the white? I'm gonna ask him more about it in the next few days. They seem to be peeling off already so they shouldn't be too hard to take off with some goo-gone.

I am really scared at getting the rust off from the seatstay caps, because they already appear to be flaking. I am hoping that I can salvage what is still there, but I may end up losing some of the nice inlay.

Thanks for the help in telling me it's the 85, not the 84. I found the listing for the components on the 85, and it looks like the bike is all stock, which I was very happy to find out about. Now its just time to hit everything to clean it up, and try to true up the wheels.

Quick question about truing. Am I going to need a truing stand, or can I just do it on the bike? If its worth it I will pick one up, but considering my budget is already pretty tight, I would like to avoid it if possible. I just plan on turning the bike upside down and seeing what I can do. I'm confident I can do it, just everything I read doesn't mention about doing it right on the bike.

Also, this bike fits me perfectly, I am quite pleased. My uncle is a little shorter than me, but turns out he likes his bikes bigger, so it's perfect.
