Well done! I like doing restorations this way too. Treat the bike as a tinkerer like me would have done - use period correct parts but tailor it to suit me vs suit some design engineers. Original spec is nice but just a starting point. Cosmetics are nice but perfectly turned and functional and all day long comfortable is great.

But I have question about the front low riders. Yours are just fastened to each side of the fork vs the units that are connected via a hoop over the wheel or a front rack. What keeps your style from wagging around when loaded? Seems like no triangulation to stabilize them. Thanks.
