Found this one for a nice price. The wheelset and tires are Bontrager. The brake calipers are Shimano 105 and
the rear cluster is a Shimano Hyperglide 7 speed everything else except the seat is original. I didn't think I'd
like the racelite wheelset but I think the black spokes look pretty good. Put new bearings and grease in the
bottom bracket and it rides like a dream. When I can find brake hoods for it I will change the bar tape and
Brake lines, I think the hardest part of working on these vintage bikes is finding brake hoods that fit

Begrudge yourself the search for excellence?

I think not.

Become a vegan,

But that.

I’ll make you a good price on an 85 if you want another.

That is pretty. I seem to remember that color was the less common, more desirable paint for these. Used to be a guy here who was all things Ironman, so you could easily slip into that role.
