Thanks "cramer9". This bike is mostly original. I upgraded to a honey Brooks Swift Ti saddle which cost more than what I paid for the bike on Ebay! The original Weinmann concave rims needed to be replaced. The rear one had a flat spot that could not be removed. Had Mike the owner of my LBS (Tony's Bikes & Sports ) re-lace the wheels with SUN CR18 rims (from Harris Bike Shop per a suggestion by Sheldon) and then reshod the wheels with Conti Gaterbacks. It made a huge improvement in the ride. Swapped to a longer Cinelli 1A stem - the original one was too short. Changed to a Shimano hyperglide freewheel to get a wider ratio for the hills. The modern ramped design made the shifting response much quicker and almost noiseless.
