Well, yeah, that is pretty! But aren't we getting into another type of bike, the single speed road bike? That one has mounts for headlight and taillight, eyelets for fenders, and track fork ends. Fork appears to have oval blades, though.

My Claud Butler is a similar bike; road geometry with brake bridge and fork crown drilled for centerpull brakes, but track ends, round fork blades. This model (Holdsworth-built Olympic Sprint from the mid 60's) usually had fender eyelets front and back, either omitted on mine at customer's request, or perhaps drewed by a previous owner.
