Shhhh. I open the thread and hey... that looks familiar.
Decided to leave the paint original. Screw the chips and battle scars. Gives it character and I plan to pounce on this steel. Kept the early-mid 80's era theme on it. DT shifters, top feed non-aero brake levers, toe clips, even the cables, bar tape, O2 cage and yes, a first gen Avocet - Made in Ol' USA cyclecomputer. Eroica.
Thanks again JB -
