Really enjoyed your account of riding with the inner circle @clubman, very interesting stuff.
Looking at the photo, it's interesting to see the lights pointing at the road where the puncture risks are not in the eyes of oncoming road users. And two brakes on fixed-wheel bikes.
Agreed leave the randonneur alone! I think there's nothing really wrong with repainting a bike and then using all those original/suitable parts, I've heard it said that in days of yore it was pretty normal to have your bike stripped and repainted every so often.
