Waiting on a different front derailleur, Stem cap, a bit of soldering, need to clean the tires, install the chain and then I believe it will be done. So close.

The FD I bought two years ago doesn't have a cable stop which this frame with above BB cable routing needs. Somehow I missed that little issue as I admired things all this time. Found a FD on Ebay and waiting for it to arrive. in the mean time, everything sans the FD has been wired up and I wait patiently for it to arrive.

Great restoration, Tim Awesome bike!

That's just stunning!!

Is this something you can use? Not NOS though... More pics availabel!

Thanks for offer. Going to stick with the Racing 3 which was available in 83. Not in picture but also found a Campagnolo SR post to go with it. I know, after a few years of following a catalog, making a few changes. :_

Looks lovely! Those pedals are not easy to find, especially in decent condition!
