No problem, and I'm not really arguing that this bike needs restoration - it's in remarkably good condition as is and as the OP points out he has another frame that he is going to restore and ride (ok, I might personally want to do something with that headset but that's just me, the rest of it is fine). But realistically, even the original bikes varied some from one to another. They were after all hand made, often in small shops and paint batches and decals varied somewhat from one batch to the next so unless you were trying to recreate some specific bike (like Fausto's) I don't see that slight variations in the paint shade or decals would matter compared to leaving a bike looking really dingy and worn. I've seen folks arguing that chips in the paint should only be covered with clear coat just to protect the steel but I wouldn't have done that when it was new so why would I do it now? Take my Bianchi for example - it's only 5 years old but it has a number of chips and scratches picked up over the years through normal use. I've touched them up as required. I've also upgraded components or changed components for better fit and comfort. So if I keep that bike for another 40 years, presumably cleaning and touching it up and modifying it along the way, at what point do I suddenly stop and say from now on I'm going to leave it as is and only protect it from corrosion? And how is that different if I bought a vintage bike that was presumably cared for in similar fashion over the years by its original owner? I guess to each his or her own
