Hey folks,
Glad you all came to the party.
I admit I need to post pictures. I will try to take close ups of al the details.
At the moment I am at the very final stage of the restoration. Everything is done except installing the front derailleur and the down tube levers. I spent hours today getting the crank and rear wheel to play nice. I had stretched the rear drop outs from 120 to 128 mm and had a nice set of Arya 700 c wheels with an 8 spd cassette that seemed to fit nicely with just a nudge of the stays . I couldn't adjust he Cyclone rear derailleur enough to go past the 6th cog with the 130 mm spacing so I swapped it another wheel with a 7 speed cassette. That fit better. Then I installed the Sugino GT crank and it was way too far out from the bottom bracket cup. I dug into my stash of spindles and found a shorter one. That moved the crank in some but not enough. That is when I decided to add the third chainring . I had intended to use it as a double. with the inner ring installed the crank fit the frame and the chain line problem was solved. I hadn't thought about it but I guess double and triple cranks are different in their offset.
Anyway, I will take some pics tomorrow and post them. I have gotten all my info so far here
