Thank you very much for the comments.This is a stunning resto with some proper skills going on!
Love the personal touches and choices you have made and a giant retro "hats off" to you sir for not fitting V-brakes!!!![]()
As for the brakes, well, it's not my fault; it's what the bike asked of me

Yes, bicycles talk, and maybe I deserve to be in a mental hospital for saying this.
But this bike spoke volumes; it told many stories and asked me to restore its splendor. I hope I've been able to fulfill your wishes; it's worth the effort and work; it's one of the most beautiful bikes I own.
