Only major thing I would do different would be a chain guard, and I wouldn't need the dynamo. But other than that I want it. lol. Nice job!
Last summer I rode by the exact same black Sprite Mixte frame that was locked to a pole down on the waterfront. Totally derelict, stripped of both wheels, but everything else was still there and the frame didn't looked damaged. I was tempted too.
A full chain guard would be nice. The Sprites had a chainring guard on the crank, which I removed as I've never really been a fan. Not sure what would fit or look good for this. Ideally, it would be matching black.
