Well thought I would update my post. I have since got tires on her and cleaned and checked everything.
Made some brake tweaks and took her for a spin. Man does she ride nice. So many memories came back riding her around the hood.. For us kids at the time it was a Paramount or the Professional we all lusted after. At least in Palo Alto where I grew up.
First time on tubulars in decades but the ride was great and they did not come off so I must have done a good job.
Back rim has a tiny bit of a flat spot so I sourced some vintage Campy Record high flange hubs attached to Weiman rims which should be a good vintage match. Just need to find the right freewheel for it now.
Will see about getting the original straightened at some point.
My wife thinks she needed a name and I have always loved the name kitty, very English public school. So kitty is my new cougar.
