Yours would be nice project for a tall rider. Who would put a dork disk and spoke reflectors on a GC?
someone desperate to be done with tubulars.

I think bike needs paint, chrome, transfers, detail paint. Sure, one could just paint linseed oil on it and ride it...
restore could easily run to $1,250.
paint, 600, transfers 200 as these are uncommon, chrome, 200-400, detail paint, 120.
assuming no Herculean measures on the BB rust required.

bike worth restoring?
yes.
I have done equal, total non investment.
