Thank you Jeff. I'm using Groit's Garage paint cleaning clay to pull the 
dirt/grim out of the paint, I'm about 1/2 way through that process, need to 
spend some time at the BB. Then it will be a polish to smooth out small 
scratches followed by one or two coats of wax. Should look like the steerer 
tube's paint when I'm done. Some chips but not bad for being 41 years old. 
Also need to do a frame saver treatment before building it up.

George, no the cartridge BB was from another bike, bearings have a lot of 
play so I was only using it to figure out spindle lengths. Always fun 
trying to get the shortest spindle to work with a frame and crank to 
achieve a low Q factor. The bike came with a full Dura-Ace groupo from '92, 
including the BB which I'll try to reuse. Unfortunately the crank and cogs 
are too high of a gearing for me. I'll need to use my favorite of 46/34 
chainrings and 11/34 cassette so I can climb the hills in my area.

Laing, see, being a pack rat has it benefits.
