Wheels arrived this morning, tires just arrived also.
Still need to fix the original fork or find another.

A little bit of brass and frame cleaning.
Not too much though. The pins are delicate.

the saddle is in really bad shape, it is a Person's Professional. Unfortunately they are very hard to find.
This one actually falls apart if you look at it for to long, so it is going to be wrapped up and stored.
I found this Brook's saddle for it, it is on the way here from the Pacific North West, it has an aged look to it, hope it works for it. Right after I bought it, I found you can still order Person's #77 racer saddles from India, they look really nice and are not that expensive at all. If the Brooks doesn't work right, I will probably order one of the new Person's.

That moment when you realize that you only have 1 700c tube. 
Oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
Not much more without a fork.

well I left the fork with the surgeon today, he said that he will do his best to make it better.
I have seen the results of his other surgeries and have high hopes on this one.
I will find out tomorrow if all goes well, as long as he doesn't have a tee time or something to distract him from getting the fork on the table (bench, whatever).
The fork has bends in 3 different areas, steer tube, fork legs (tines) to the back about 5 degrees, and also (looking forward) to the left about 3 degrees. To me it is major surgery, the doctor doesn't seem as concerned as I do though.

Talked with the doctor tonight, it seems surgery is delayed while he tries to understand how the fork got itself into this condition, or something.
Seems like it should be done by Thursday. Which is ok, as the new saddle arrives Friday or Saturday, and I always try to make sure I have a saddle on the bike I am riding, none of that bare back crap for me.
