Even more excellent to get it working again, its all about restoration and having it live on, the more we can save, the longer we can keep this going at a better level. Just a swag, but the Clement band may have been to bundle tires for lashing to the bike or not.

The band that held it in place at the front of the top tube is one of the few spots on the bike that seems really true to the original color.
