Late to the thread but good work! Aesthetics aside ;) It's good to see a bike being used.
I have recently recommissioned an old Dawes "hand made in England" Shadow. It's actually a great frame, still solid and straight and really good fun to ride. Steel wheels and all. I don't plan on modifying it much - maybe just ditching the fairly useless simplex gears and make it a SS.
