I was going to say that , oh how the mighty have fallen and then something about not fitting in to todays riding

Have you decided on a build ? Chuck in my tuppence to say lose the wheels and brakes.

Black LX m560 would be a good choice.
And C2's of course

Plans? Not sure yet, new tyres to start!
Strip down and a good clean and take it from there!
