Strip and clean exposed a few things, as always.
Cantis are fucked, so have some tektro 720s on the way as they were super cheap at sjs.
Headset is just, well, weird. Tange did some odd things back in the day. I mean why do you need an adjustable top race, held in tension by a spring washer/lock ring/nut combo, which is turn kept in place by another lock ring and nut combo, all finished of with two (2!!) Rubber shields.... Oh and the bottom race is open to the elements. Weird. So that's getting replaced
Rest of the drivetrain is old exage 3x7, hardly on trend but it's staying for the moment.
