Yup, gotta get the Tange. Whenever possible, vintage Tange headsets are saved for personal or high-end builds. The Tange Falcon II headsets always seem to make it onto one of my rides when they land in my grubbies, even when replacing another Tange headset.

Got the seat - super clean Mesinger saddle

Not much progress to report on… headbadge installed. Unfortunately the Phil clamp was 28.6 mm and I needed 30.0 mm, so using the original clamp that came on both the Sting and King Sting. Hopefully next update will be more newsworthy

 

[Robertk]

More progress tonight!

Brakes will be a 1080 Weinman out back and and a 1020 up front. That 1080 is ginormous!

Looking great

 

[Robertk]

Replaced the derailleur with a NOS Suntour LePree

 

[Robertk]

I guess the long reach Weinmann 1080s weren’t really needed

 

[Robertk]

Waiting on some brake cable ends to finish this build. You’re right Tom, the waiting is the hardest part!
