THANK YOU!
yes I do hope it is in good hands, I am making sure it's the case by finding out more and more about the bike.
the brakes for example were placed in that way because up to the 60's it was common practice to have the bottle in front on the handlebar.

thanks a lot! it's pleasure to share pictures
I am still not convinced whether in October I should ride this piece of machinery at l'Eroica in Italy or get a sacrificial bike instead
