Updating to say that I finally have my bike back! We had a hard time tracking down the headset, and then the shop had to rethread the fork because they couldn't find one to fit. But it looks so pretty (even though I couldn't get a lugged fork, I had to settle for a plain chrome one), and hopefully we will be able to steal some time this week to put on the new cranks, the pedals, the new seatpost, and the saddle. I should have gone ahead and ordered the freewheel and the brake cables while I was waiting for it, but I forgot, so I will have to do that now. We also need to determine for sure whether I can use the old short-reach DiaCompe brakes I have, or whether the conversion to 700c wheels is going to require long-reach brakes.

I'm really excited ... I can't believe how pretty this bike is.
