Work-in-progress pic from today: I have done the usual frame treatment with cutting compound and carnauba wax, really only a few minor chips in the paint. All bearings are overhauled, very low end headset but it will have to do for now as I am mostly pulling together parts I already have.
Great bike! You will have a lot of fun with it. A couple of years I rode my on bikepacking trips. The frame was a bit small for me so I do not have it anymore. But I really liked its geometry.
