I found this picasa album of a Grand Prix of what appears to be the same year, that someone put different bars (with bar-end shifters) and a Brooks saddle on. It's gorgeous and if the local one looks half as nice I don't think I'll be able to resist!

Thanks for the tips.

It's listed at $125, and I'm hopeful that I can talk him down to $100. (I'm planning to use the fact that I saw the same bike listed over a week ago and he clearly hasn't had any takers yet. fingers crossed that it's just a price issue or something and not something seriously wrong with the bike )

I can't wait for tomorrow! I was busy last night, he was going to be out of town today, so we had to leave it for Sunday afternoon. Hopefully he didn't sell it out from under me last night or something...
