Just picked this up off of ebay, listed in fair condition but looks pretty good. Not a museum piece - plan on riding it as is.
Gave it a nice bubble bath and a good waxing before applying some JP Weigle to the seat tube, down tube, head tube, bottom bracket, & steerer. I was surprised to see the seat tube and down tube had vent holes into the bottom bracket - thought these were all sealed tubes?
Popped the seals off the bearings, they looked original & untouched, cleaned out the old grease and repacked with some Phil's.
The BB cable guide was held in place by a wood screw & plastic push in - weird, found the pop rivet in the BB. Need to get that riveted back on then start the build.
