Yeah, a frame pump and replacement fenders are next on the list. That and some decent brake calipers, hah.

It's a bit off catalog spec because I thought the 1974 came with the mattress saddle, but this one has the B66. Either someone replaced it, or it was changed before the end of the year. It's definitely a 74 though, I think that was the only one with the top tube pump mounts.

Hubs are different too- Maillard 700, rather than the Normandy Competition. Seem to be laced to the correct rims though. Let me know if I'm talking BS, but wasn't it less unusual for bikes to go off catalog spec back then? IE swapping Altenburger brakes for Weinmann if there weren't enough Weinmann calipers to go around, etc
