Good eye! I noticed the newer looking spokes but didn’t think of the hub. I don’t have the bike with me, no luck reading anything on the hub.

You must lead a charmed life. I have been looking for a bike like that for years. I live in a rural area that is very poor when it comes to nice old bikes so nothing doing.

The fork miss match makes me wonder if the bike went back to the factory for a fork issue, got a new fork and a repaint.
