If I were building it, I would copy the dimensions and geometry, then using modern tubing with similar dimensions, build my copy, but with a couple of differences, I would build it for modern components. The idea is to have a new bike that rides like a classic one. Before anyone asks, it would have my name on it, not somebody else's name. There is a fine line between a reproduction and a forgery.
