Just finished it, 8 months of searching, trading, and building have brought me to this: 1st off I put a repro decal set on but left the original seatpost decal. I don't know why but it just looks better that way.
Series III Pro Class rims with SR sealed hubs, Maxy Cross cranks, Tuf Neck stem and seatpost clamp, Dia Compe brake, Pro Class bars, Odyssey lay back seatpost, blue Aero seat, blue Comp III clone tires, and blue VP "beartrap like" pedals. I have a set of blue Cal Lites on the way and it's done. I have to say I have built a few before this but this is the first build where I slowly accumulated parts and I have to say the best part is the hunt because there are numerous moments of childlike giddyness as you come across this and that. I've got a few other f/f sets but I think I'm going to build an old Quad next. I have to find one first and therein lies the fun.

Looks great. Those Californians were nice riding bikes that never really were given their due.
