I like it Rocksteady, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article. Just a thought though, but those original add-ons, like the under-toptube pump fitments, should be made use of....if possible.
The cheap old-fashioned long-tube metal pumps, are light and really efficient. I have achieved over 100psi with them, even though proper force was required, and the metal heated up so much, I had to hold it with a cloth.
If going for a modern look, ok, hack 'em off, but if going for a classic aesthetic, them at least contemplate keeping them.
My tuppeny-ha'penny.
