Have you had a look at the headset and bb bearings? If you have, would just a clean and lube suffice?
Thanks.
I have a '74 in blue. Personally, I would have preferred the iconic white, but this one was in such nice condition and small sizes don't turn up that often. With the exception of pedals, tires and cables, mine is pretty much stock. The '75s got a nicer, allen bolt stem, Simplex Super LJ derailleurs, Maillard 700 hubs, and a padded Ideal (2001) saddle. These are very nice riding bikes and even the shorter, steeper ones make for comfortable and stable long-distance bikes. If you buy it, I'm sure you will like it. It's pretty tough to find a full-531 frameset with decent paint for a hundred bucks, unless you push someone over when they ride by and take off with their bike.
