i was in such a rush to get 'at it' i didn't take a pic assembled...............
but - arrival


BB with original label - it's a P10PG [TX =Misty Blue]


serial number gives June 1985


today i lubed both hubs, the BB [yucky brown grease], and the headset. New chain
tomorrow general polish of cranks, new bar-tape and cables - before a photoshoot next sunny day

the rims are chrome with wee 1.5inch Weinmann brake blocks - any suggestions as to how i might actually stop in the wet..

Looks to be in great condition.

@John the Canuck try some kool stop continental brake pads , they will help a bit with stopping

 

[John the Canuck]

progressing well

all the bearings lubed, rims trued, new tubes
waiting for chain [1st NOS was too wide], new blue cables, [1st green were yuk], and saddle ordered.

decided to keep the levers after all - since added black gel tape
thanks to biggs for the retro blocks.!
