Thanks to all

Thanks to all who responded.

As it turns out the bicycle pictured in the second link is the actual bicycle I purchased so you can view some high quality pictures of my find. I appreciate all the advice on the front DR and especially the post from dbakl, I will PM you later to try to arrange for the Valentino. My plan is to clean everything up but to save the patina. That's what attracted me. That, plus I was 17 in 1962 headed for college in Madison, Wisconsin where I found this bike. Of course what happened in Madison in the '60's is a matter of history.
Let's just say I've never been the same what with dead Kennedy's(and King's), the war and the revolution.

So I can visualize that old 10 speed tearing down State Street faster than the cars, mission unknown.
Thanks again,
Bill
