Hard to build to an era, easier to buy new!
I have to ask what bottom bracket you used with the cranks?
I love this bike!

Originally bikes like this with "thompson type" bb - 40mm press-fit bearingcups and cones on the chaft.

I replaced this with 40mm pressfit BB sealed unit for cottered crancks.
