I've seen that same break on old lyotards on other forums, I had a set of 460Ds on my bike but the left side pedal clicked all the time no matter how I adjusted it so off they came.

It'll never be terribly valuable but I don't see that as a reason to disregard any classic steel frame road bike.

Is it your size? Do you really like the bike?

Those are the important questions, gaspipe or not it'll still be a great ride when it's fixed up and if it was near me I'd buy it and rehab in in a hea ...

Interesting project, I can't wait to see it done.

For decals I can reccomend Cyclomondo on E-bay, he does great work.

One more vote for keeping it as is, Too many really fine bikes have fallen to the butchery of fixed/single speed conversions already.

If you need a fixie, find one that's done already or build one ...

I completely agree, you only have that original patina once.

I feel the same way about vintage cars.
