With the most pressing issues resolved and the frame half way through the beauty treatment I decided that I wanted to put the restoration on hold and drive it as it is for now. There's still a lot of work to do on the frame and the components (polishing wheels, hubs, cranks, paint touch-ups etc.) but I came to the realisation that these are things best done in winter. Also, as long as the bike still looks a bit rough, I don't have to be worried about it getting scratched and dirty. So I assembled the bike and took it for a test ride and it is just soo much fun! I was initially hoping for tighter clearances but the whole thing just looks so damn classy that I'm not really bothered about the clearances anymore. Brake will be installed soon but it's currently located in a rural area, so not much traffic to worry about...
