She said her mother toured on it thorughout Europe back in the day.
Her mother must be/had been a giant to tour in this bike... 61cm C-C is a mighty tall bike.
that sounds (and looks) like a pretty aggressive geometry for anything but a racing bike. I see no problems with your conversion (thanks for not butchering it in case someone might want to restore it down the road). But that's a huge bike...
