Thank you for the nice compliment. At least I take it that way! It reminds me of the guy who asked a musician "Is that a real song or did you make that up?"
I would say this: We are all real riders, even if we have different priorities.
Now about the bike. I admit it would look nice with a well-used dark brown Brooks. It would look nice with those touch-up spots re-done in the correct blue. And with the stickers replaced. If only I had the skill and the time and the place.
