Nice Claud. Frame looks similar to late 60s Electron or Spectra - have been looking at a few recently. Straight gauge tubing, so not particularly light and the geo is relaxed :) so not a racer in this day and age, would make a decent commuter / tourer. What were the BB stamped numbers? Toe clips and straps would be a good upgrade, but service it and enjoy for what it is. Sticking on modern parts would be a money drain, better to start with a modern frame for that.
