Nice job.

Oh, by the way, you could really use some foot retention. I go the clipless route myself but with those original pedals and cranks, toe clips and straps would keep the mode of the day.

Another project for you is to consider regular brake levers for drop handlebars. They give you another hand position (same as though riding bull horns) and you can use them while riding in the drops. You can even use them with the setup you have now. I'm assuming that's an interrupter brake lever but if not, easily fixed. That way, you can have brake levers accessible while riding in the drops or tops.

You should post this over in the SS/FG forum. They would appreciate it, too.
