Looks like a basic nice bike. Not sure I would pay for a Joe Bell paint job
and have it be flat black, but to each his own.

I have a pair on the way. Thanks to all who mentioned they had spares. These
are going to be used on a sweet Bridgestone T700 I picked up recently. Low
miles, pearl white pain in great shape. Even the original bar tape looks like
new. Life is good and it's getting me in the mood for Spring.
Paint...not pain.

Man,that's a nice bike. I really like that yellow and I think the black
tape looks fine. That's an early Waterford AR,correct?

Or another Richard. But I like the idea of it being Richard Schwinn's bike.
When I ordered my AR in Aug 1997, one of the options was to have your name
painted on it, so I ordered mine with my name painted on the top tube.
Probably kills the resale value but I have no plans to sell it anyway.
I'm going to put this up frame only for 750 + shipping before putting it up

Hey Group, Up for sale is a used 61cm AHH F/F/HS/BB. Its Toyo built, if
that means anything. Repainted Butterscotch. Its 'creamier' in life than
in the photos. definitely used, never abused. It has some paint chips
here an there that i covered with nail polish. Some chainsuck chips
This has already been posted in Legolas!, but I thought it was worth its
own thread. The Glorius and Wilbury with their super-fancy lugs are still
available as customs. I want one!
I would advise ditching the Paul brakes. The Tektros are fine and will play
nice with the rack. If you have mid fork braze ons so that a Nitto Mini Front
would fit, then that could present an option, but an M12 won't be any better on
Paul brakes than that VO is. Paul has way too much stack
