I picked up this bike for AUD at a dump shop. I ditched the drops for some lighter flat bars and swapped the perished Michelins for some cheapo Kendas. Hubs, headset and bottom bracket are re-packed and adjusted but the bottom bracket spindle needs replacing. There's a nasty flat spot in the back wheel where someone must have hit a gutter so I'm thinking of converting to 700c. I'd also like to try some bullhorns to get a few more hand positions.
