awesome. thanks. i see hlloydcycles does have some transfers/decals available...i'll probably pick them up even though they wont be period correct. =\ its better than having a blank frame.

i'll hit up Atomic cycles in my area about the head tube rivets i know they deal with a lot of old bikes so maybe they can give me a heads up on how to take it off without risking damage to the bike and to see if they can help me convert it into a fixed gear bike =]

the bikes original paint is actually a nice metallic red. The paint has pretty much faded away. There was tape wrapped around certain parts of the frame to hold the cables and when I took them off I found the original paint still preserved under it.



I'll take better and more detailed pictures of the parts you listed as soon as it stops raining here and when i recover from turkey overdose. =P

Thanks again!
