I've been watching some vintage bike restoration videos on YouTube. One particular guy in Britain seems to put out a LOT of these, maybe one week or two. Of course he also sells them on his website, but he finishes each resto off with a ride, which is really kinda cool. I mean, it's one thing to see a beautifully restored bike on the shop floor, but seeing them out in the wild, being ridden, sometimes being sprinted on, that's nice.
He does seem to have a liking for white bar tape and hoods, which looks great - at first! - but the first time you have to fix a flat on the road........
