This is going to be a really nice bike when you are finished,
I was going to ask the same question as T Mar whether the bike is a European model.
I tried replacing the bottom bracket, here's a picture of the original cottered cranks (the stuck cotter pin and dirt
).
I think the wheels are original. I think they are alloy, since I'm able to polish them to a nice shine (?).
