As said above I think it's an interesting C&V story.

Excellent story.
A true C&V enthusiast who builds their own classic to ride in a TdF type event is someone to be celebrated here.
Bravo.

What makes this guy's projects so interesting is that he trains and rides his creations at a competitive level, breaks records even.
I am wondering if his competitors have been on same type bikes or were period-contemporary?
