Thanks. I like the way it looks as well. My wife is not all that thrilled with the gray though. She likes bright colors. She has not even ridden the bike yet. Now that it is a cleaned up a shining like new, she is more intrigued. My fingers are crossed that this will be the one for her. If not, I am sure it will sell pretty fast.

Mercier 300 being restored with bits Ive been collecting for some time including a Huret Jubilee drivetrain. 
Still have to build the wheels and get the brakes on. The rest of it is starting to wrap up.

My winter build #1 just got back from paint. 1981 Trek 750. I just realized how many details I left until now. You know, the old "I thought I had... complete brakes, levers, correct size bottom bracket, ". but I don't yet.

Got my wheels built up last night:
700C, CR18s laced to unbranded Formula hubs with DT Swiss spokes and nipples. The pictured tires are there as placeholders, just so I can store it easily on the rack here at the shop without risking my new rims getting all banged up.

I have 5 bikes. One is TT bike 3 road bikes and one mountain bike. Only one road bike i have ready to ride but that bike is go be project soon too. because i cant afford buy new wheels now I want put the wheels from the ready to ride bike in other road bike. In one road bike i am between to replace the tiagra groupset with ultegra or put the ultegra in other road bike have downtube shifters. I not have deside yet. I do like the downtube shifters but is hard to change gears in downhil or in higher speeds. I not feel comfortable yet take out my hand from the handlebar to change gears downhill and in higher speeds. My TT bike i think need new bottom bracket general i have many bikes but no money do the bikes the way i want.
