Hey Gary, thank you for the kind offer. I'm getting the bike back on Thursday and will let you know. Bike is at Belmont Wheelworks now, man that place was buzzing. I don't know if people were buying bikes, but there was a parade of testers everywhere and 5 techs were building/working on bikes.
Went in to buy some new brake pads and met one of the techs, an old guy, long white beard, skinny as rail but muscles everywhere (you could tell this guy rides a lot!), he noticed my '56 speedster T-shirt and said he has a 356. So of course we got to talking.
10 minutes later we turn to the bike. He looks it over, notes that it's super record and I should stop complaining and ride it as is, asks me if I need to win any races soon. He was a hoot! He then just takes it and puts it up on a stand and starts to go through it. Headset needs to be R&R'd with new bearings, he's going to go through the shifters/derailleurs and brakes and true the front wheel. He thinks I'll be happy with it after he's done. We did talk about how to fit a modern 10 speed group to it and you would need to spread the rear triangle, $120 just for that. He said people these days shift too damn much. just learn how to ride and tough out the hills, builds muscles (he points to his legs).
I think it will last me through next year, will report back later this week.
