While setting this up we decided to keep the less decorative parts off the display.
Cables & Housings, Chain, Spokes & nipples, Tires & tubes weren't that appealing that we had to present them along with the other parts. They reside in the cupboard below the display.
Do you find them so attractive that you'd insist on adding 'em?

It wouldn't only be massively heavy, any transfer would be ruled out. The complete display measures 176 cm x 110 cm - it would be virtually impossible to move or store. And it probably
will be transported (or put away) someday.

I didn't notice that the seam was so noticable until I came home and saw the pictures on the computer.
I'll adress those problems when I come back there, thanx for pointing out East Hill.
A shadowbox or anything similar would certainly let the costs explode. We had to keep this joke practical (pun intended) and it wasn't really cheap so far - medium density fiberboard, taffeta fabrics, brass hooks etc. - and took a lot of effort anyway. [Not to mention buying the frame, accumulating the correct parts and bringing everything to showroom condition.]

WOW, great work CV-6. Looks
very clean, I'm impressed!

You will have noticed that this is a tall frame, it's a 24.5" = 62.2 cm size. I try to not buy anything smaller than 62 cm, 63 cm are perfect.
To my best knowledge Raleigh 753 frames weren't available in my size, they stopped at 61cm, so this
cannot be 753.

No, they're not - you'll find them where they belong when a frame is delivered to the dealer: they are in that small paper bag that sticks to the rear brake bridge (see picture below).
As I said, the frame is new!
... and last ...
... All The Best for the new year to all of you -
stay safe, whatever you do!
