I am really bad at taking pictures; I have a digital camera, just got back from a trip, took zero pics. I will eventually photo the bike.

I plan to keep the bike forever, my nephew or whoever inherits it can take the value hit. That said, I'm already of two minds: one of a brilliant, glistening bike looking like-new, on (horrors) wheels re-laced to 700c and everything rechromed; the other a cleaned up version of what it is now, just new tires and cables.
Unless the paint is completely shot and there's rust everywhere, DON'T REPAINT IT! If you do that, it can NEVER be original again, and in my book originality (and patina) counts for way more than pretty.
