I've had a hard look at the pictures and through my drool I've managed to see 63 stamped on the bottom bracket (my size......*gently weeps).

I'm so torn with bikes like this. They should be ridden, to not so denies them their very purpose. But to make is a regular rider you'd need to modernise much of the build. Which means the charm is lost.

Why ? Love summer commuting or going on Sunday cafe rides on a vintage steel bike with period components

It's a personal thing for me. I have every confidence in a 30 years old frame but not with wheels and components that are 30 years old. And it's little things like the brake hoods on older bikes are too small and uncomfortable for my shovel like hands.
