Thanks! No plans to run a brake or brakes. I was surprised to find that 28mm tires fit underneath the fork crown, though I'll be running smaller. I want to keep the frame as original as possible, even if a nice powder coat would get rid of the various paint chips. The decals are in great shape, it's just the rear triangle that managed to get a lot of wear--not really anywhere else.
I've gotta try and figure out fitment, which means getting this thing on wheels and seeing the angles I'm working with. That will determine saddle setback, though I'll not have it set back as much as my road setups. I may end up running a longer stem and 'tune' the fitment for riding in the drops. Much to consider!
