You gave him fine advice - I could triple or quadruple the sale price of mine if I did that…but I’ve had the damn thing so long and went through puberty on the bike without killing myself, and during disassembly I took copious notes and sketches (cell phone cameras didn’t exist then) even to the extent of measuring the head, diameter, length and screw pitch of every bolt and nut, and noting any markings on the head of every bolt….
