Thanks! I did a bunch of touchup work and it cleaned up really nicely. Rims are 700c Weinmanns - not sure what model, they have a raised center ridge. Laced to Campagnolo Tipos and the tires are Compass/ RH, I'm pretty sure they're Stampede Pass 32 width. It could take a bit wider tire but these are more than good enough. Again, Jon gets credit for a very thoughtful setup. I've changed the contact points: saddle, bars, stem and pedals and the big ring.
As an aside, @
jonwvara, do you remember if the Technomics you had on that bike had been machined to fit the French steerer? That is one long stem! Maybe a 120?
