thanks everyone, very helpful tips. Toe straps, daycent cage, white tape, Concor saddle & stem will be the first things on the list. I ain't buildin' it for porn but just feel they're is something missing ya know? It's def a Nuovo Mexico from 1983 btw. I think downtube shifters and nice hoods will make a big difference, not mad on the ergo shifters tbh.
It's not a nuovo mexico as far as I can tell btw
the Nuovo has 4 crimps on the dt and one on the tt ,and no crimps inside the chain stays, as far as I can tell yours has one crimp on dt and one on tt, and inside the chain stays
just had 3.5 hrs on my Nuovo this afternoon in prep for a retro ride
I'd consider changing the rims also, rigida are french
here's mine in the cp thread in the posted here in the interest of science , not a readers wife tip http://www.lfgss.com/post4263164-94135.html
