I rebuilt this classic with high end, but period correct components, regreased whatever needed it, added new cables, housing and brake pads. It rides like a dream! But alas, it’s a bit small for me :(. I’m 5’10 with a 30” inseam, this bike would be best for someone 5’4-5’8. The seat tube measures 18”, which I believe would make this the 46L size listed in the original catalog (screenshot pictured).
