I bought the entire bike for 75 bucks from the original owner: crummy oxidised components typical of the mass production bike boom of the era. 27″ steel rims. Stripped it down, cleaned the frame, revealed excellent condition paint with a few scratch-outs into bare steel. All new components less the fork, stem & drops. NOS French headset.

Do you have issues with bottom bracket being too low?
Yep. I use a 160mm crank set, and sure as hell watch my cornering. The bottom bracket itself I replaced with a 103mm IRD quad, and swapped out the English cups for the swiss versions. In spite of the problem, it gives for a really comfortable ride and I plan on using it for longer tours.
