I recently bought this on ebay for $88:

The seller is the same guy who recently sold a pair of cranks to the Tokyo Dentist for US$787.
I am a newbie to oldbie bikes. I'd like to build this up with correct parts, if possible. I am also on a very limited budget. :)
How should I build it up? Do any of you have appropriate parts for it you'd sell me?
Can period decals be had? I sure would like to re-paint it, do a poor-man's resto via a painter like Ed Litton. My friend Bob tells me it's a no-no, that the incredibly shot paint and decals must be left intact. Tell me he's wrong.
Well, I think he's wrong.
What do you think?
