6pt-
If you’re minted you just gut the place and do what you want as whatever you put in is likely better quality than whatever was there before (@Dammit’s serotta or whatever being a reasonable analogy?)
Tl;dr: I feel personally attacked.
I've spent around £2,000 saving the frame of my original CSi and bringing it to "as new", it's had new seat stays now, plus a Colourburn paint job, on top of what I did when I bought it initially.
It would have been significantly cheaper to have ordered a modern steel road bike and then have "Serotta" painted on it.

Yeah, I dont give a shit about some twat's personal decorations with the wealth from the empire in the 19th century. I will care about history once they start teaching the colonial stuff in the schools. Obviously I wont/didnt go out of my way to destroy things but I really care very little for all of this nonsense. If you are British, its not a 'period' to be proud of.
Also Victorians shat outside, something I enjoy doing every now and then.
