Beautiful bike, but best is it goes to someone who will use it and maybe have moments on personal best days when you touch hands with its prior owner.
Be nice if there were any pictures of the prior owner from days when he raced and won, maybe in the local paper?
If you could find such a picture you could then send him a picture when you're done with the bike of his bike with him in his prime in a picture hanging over it.
Here you have a bike that could talk through its owner, I have several that cannot, it is haunting to wonder what stories they could tell.
Enjoy, take care.
