my post is very similar to
>>988058 but mine happens to fit my really well with minimal adjustment.
I got this bike yesterday; my first road bike after a lifetime of mountain bikes.
so apparently it was made in 1961. I thought it was mid 70s from the design and levers.
its also the first significantly used bike I ever bought
anyway I know I need to replace brake pads, rim tape, tubes and tires, they seem to all be extremely old.
I will also need new grip tape, and I want to remove the clips and ride on flats (roadie noob).
what other things should I look out for that tend to need replacement after so many years? I only rode it for 10 minutes so far and it shifts and feels great (apart from the dubious tires and breaks)
