Made a bit of progress. Purchased a few items in Jan. Vintage lever covers. New old stock Weco pedals. Landar seat clamp. Copy red Tuff pads. 82 Diacompe dog leg lever.Yellow new old stock Team Murray pad set and late seventies/early 80's plate and numbers are in transit. Leaning towards a gloss transparent Candy Apple Red on the frame the forks will stay black, and the chain guard is 100% original so that's staying as it is. No spend in Feb, so March will be my next bit of progress.SDF.A few more parts added to th build, pads and fluted seat post👊🏻

Looks cool, not sure on that plate though? oval one maybe?

Dan did the paint, and I absolutely love it. kinda sacrilege to Put the dodgy 1980 prismatic stickers, but that is what I did in 81. Just wished I had Tuff ones on my Murray as a kid, mine had ten ton red mags.
