Not sure what direction I'm going to go in yet...Definitely keep the patina, time to dig through my parts store! :D
 
Just wondering if anyone could advise me regarding this bike:

I realise these are pretty common...but not so much over here in the UK so I'm just trying to wade through the vintage US sizings, with the help of Sheldon Brown's site.
Luckily it looks like Porkchop ships the stuff I'll need worldwide, does anyone know what these measurements should be? Do mine look correct? Any advice would be great! :)

Seatpost - 13/16"
Headtube (for cups) - 32.5mm (ish?) Sheldon Brown says 32.7, Porkchop sells 32.5
BB shell width - I measure 65mm but Sheldon Brown says 68, thinking of buying a Euro to American adapter so hopefully this'll kinda work?! http://porkchopbmx.com/euro-to-american-bicycle-bottom-bracket-adapter-silver/

Many thanks
