Just one final check-off here ... i assume that because of such a short "shelf life", those two fellows never made it into bottles, etc. A cap, jersey, and bottle with the sun/moon/stars would have, as the youngster's today say ... so "kewl".
The hardest part on this build, of all things, was the original nos Shimano top tube cable clips. Little jewel like fasteners.
Baby comes homes home tomorrow.
