Cicli B - new retro road

Hello, I'm super excited to post my new retro road. I bought it today for ~50$.
It's reynolds 531 so a top notch frameset.
There are some beautiful parts on it.
I still need to decide if i should either strip it and sell for parts on eBay or keep it and get suntour brake levers + suntour cyclone shifters.

Bargain!

Frame made by Martens in Zwevezele, circa 1980 I'd say. Very nice! A bargain indeed.

If the size is right I'd at least take it for a spin before making any decisions.

I guess that the size is right, seller claimed it's 58 do for 181cm rider it should be ok. I think that i will give it a try on Polonika (Polish annualy retro race) because i really like this thing and i have red dolphin seat + some red old benotto tapes that would fit perfectly on this

One more question guys, i have to change seatpost as the one that was inside the bike is cut and is extremely short. 26.6mm seatpost won't fit so considering it's reynolds 531 now i should try 26.4mm right?
