Noooo! You don't need to 'steal-proof' this bike. You need to buildIt up so its your 'mint as fuck, only ever take it out when it's bone dry and when you know you don't have to lock it up outdoors' bike. Then spend under £100 on a beater and ride that every day!
This frame is so beautiful that I plead with you to do it justice with parts, love and attention to detail it deserves. After all, if a man were to buy a Porsche to cure his mid life crisis then surely that would only come out at the weekends?
And for the love of god, don't paint it, especially don't paint it pink!
Anyway, best of luck with whatever you decide to do.
