I bought this today and researched it a bit. It came with two bottle cage bosses. the other two were added on. Oh, and it's a Centurion Pro Tour, made of Tange 1. It's going to be sweet once i build it up with some better wheels and deraileurs. need to clean it too.
Thanks Alex!

Looks really nice.
Maybe spend a little bit of time tweaking the front fender stay lengths to get it more of a constant radius around the front tire/wheel. A tiny bit longer at the bottom pair and maybe a scootch shorter at the upper rear pair should do it. I'm a little OCD when it comes to fender clearances though.

I know it is my problem, but any mention of fender clearances right now causes me to collapse in a heap of despair and tears.

Why, Tony, why? I've been known to try to adjust parked/stranger bike fenders, myself...

Ahahahaha! That's great.
Fenders should be pretty even or it drives me nuts. I've been known to be a little ODC sometimes.
I'm still not 100% happy with the fenders on my road bike:

The fender issue has been fixed, actually. I took this pic right before the fine adjustments. I too hate fender clearance perfection!
Speaking of which, nice work James!

Speaking of mudguard clearances &c, ('way off topic from the OP, but whatever...) What did any of you use to cut and trim those stainless steel stays?

9" Electrician's Side-cutting pliers.
Don't do it inside, it'll put holes/chips in the drywall ceiling when the little buggars fly. It wasn't a challenge for the pliers but when it cut through it was like an air-rifle going off.

IMO, a hacksaw and a flat file work best and you won't have to chase down the flying ends of the stays. I've also used my park tool cable cutters... you still gotta file though. Those buggers are sharp!

I can only imagine what the cable cutters looked like after cutting hardened stainless steel. Bypass blades are definitely not up to that kind of abuse.
