Don,
Please add the old COOL GEAR quick release saddle and Cinelli M71 Widow Maker pedals for a more complete solution.
Brake levers should be Guidonett Style, Mafac in Nylon (White resin) construction; very beneficial.
A vitus 979 fork with alloy steer tube would be a good backup; the steel steerer seemed to last forever.
HIDE RIVETED RIMS were much more fragile. I have a straight set. 195 grams each!
