Not sure yet. I didn;t expect to have to really consider it! Have to go over it but also decide whether or not to keep it. In my mind I am thinking: Wheel re-build the large flanged hubs, triplizer ring w/26/28 inner and longer cage to give it a more usable range of gearing. Also maybe Suntour Barcons vs. DT shifters but that would all be a while out.

I've also got a Belt Beacon that has been hiding in my parts box. It's a fun bit of old tech, but not much practical use now.
I still have my Nashbar labeled Medai pump too. Still works, but I reach for my old Silca floor pump first.

I think that earns you the golden packrat award. I'm not sure I have anything from those days save for a Belt Beacon I modded with a potentiometer to vary the blink rate.

Couple more pics:
Small tool kit in the front bag
Pump is as identified previously
Looks like maybe the hanger or the RD are tweaked a bit? Runs a bit rough over the range of gears

The tubular wheels are not built with original rims but are period. At that juncture, original would have been AVA. Earlier would have been Weinmann tubular.
those rims are lighter than the SC Competition, say 320-330 grams or so. A good rim.

I've got a very similar pump I bought in the mid 80's. Mine says "TAIWAN" where yours says "MEIDAI".
Mine has a very similar crack in the lens over the gauge. I've never figured out where to get a replacement for that.
The pump still works fine.

Outstanding score. Any way you take it will be great. Internationals are the bomb.

Spotted this on Ebay after a few adult beverages.It was a local pickup only, and a BIN/ make an offer, so I threw a 50% offer in for my own entertainment……
Pretty much untouched…..17974 or 1975?
Original tubular wheels
Skid lid and pump
Seller was a super nice guy who buys industrial equipment at auctions and re-sells it. This was a part of one of those auctions combined, with an estate sale. He knew it was a nice bike but didn't want to bother shipping it. Have not had time to dig in but it seems to be almost all original and in really good shape.

Do you think Glenmorangie would work as well as Bushmills?

Clean, lube, new to the bike tires& test ride for about hour this morning.
Even with the heavy wheels and tires, the bike “rides light” and everything works as it should.
That said this may be a catch and release for me, as to ride it regularly I would want to make a number of non-permanent mods. We will see.

It looks great without all that extra stuff attached to it! It cleaned up really nicely.

I just know the difference because I had a Bell Biker back in the day, and a local racer who rode a Klein Team Super wore a Skid Lid.

[QUOTE=steelbikeguy;22839681]and do I see a spare sew-up rim that can be used to stretch a spare tire??
Very astute observation. Trying tubulars might be fun - I've been tempted once or twice. You have clinchers on your International and Olmo for good reason I'm sure

For rural riding, where the biggest risk of puncture is from potholes or a rock on the shoulder (the cause of my last tubular flat... a pinch flat), tubulars have been fine.
For me, tubulars are a way to maintain a connection to the older tech, not unlike building wheels or harlequin bar tape wrap. ... or like the hard rubber brake hoods on my International?

It's great to use different bikes and different tech. Why not? To this day there seems to be a vociferous debate about how practical tubulars are and I'm still curious as to how they ride compared to modern, highe-end folding clinchers.
