Bikejunkie, it's getting there. I overhauled my Campy hubs and laced them into a set of hard anodized Rigida rims with stainless spokes. Gotta love Campy stuff...30 some odd years old and the bearings and races are still perfect. I have the bars, stem, cranks and pedals I'm going to use...the pedals are the same set I ran back then as well. Still hunting all the other parts.
Pics soon... :mrgreen:

Those are some nice full wraps!Next are you gonna sticker your Patty up? I always dug the orange Patty stickers on chrome.
I've got a friend that says he has a friend that has a set for sale, I'm just waiting until after christmas.
Yeah Im gonna do the same thing.After Christmas Im gonna return all my gifts for the money and any dollars I get will go toward my MCS sticker set!!HAHA
Is that a crack on front of the right chainstay? Looks pretty big as it goes from the top of the tube to the bottom.
on a side note, I'm surprised there aren't any Hawks. You know the aluminum frames with the square tubing? I always loved those bikes but always a bit out of my price range.

No crack, its just dirty. Its been stored in a attic for the last three years and needs a good cleaning. Heres some pictures of it
I'll take a picture tomorrow after I clean it and show you that its not cracked.
I don't mean to make it a big issue. I just remember back in my BMX'in days, the aluminum frames didn't seem to hold up. Probably since they weren't made to take a beaten on the street like a chromoly frame was.
