Very nice! Worth of the drive and the N-1.
I'd match the tape to the saddle, keep it low low key and the attention on the frame.

Absolutely lovely.
Please toss us a little info about the panniers and your low rider racks.
I'd take that bike out on a major journey.
You can always add another water bottle cage and lights.
In fact, have you thought about a dyno hub and light system?

Hey Grady, sorry for the delay, missed your request for rack info.
The front Rack is a Nitto Mark's hub area rack with some Berthoud panniers from another bike. I was hoping to use some Swift Industries Mini's that I have, however looks like they do not fit the rack. The rack is intended for use on forks with a top eyelet, this Weigle only has a bottom eyelet so the rack is installed backwards. It works for now.
I definitely would like to go with a dyno lighting system on this as well as my Ebisu. I'm a little clueless on lightining systems, so need to research and get a little help with installation.
Here are some pics of the rack

It never hurts to buy the best. It lasts and lasts, while giving you worry free enjoyment while you are out and about.
Fwiw. I used an SP dyno, Dyad rim and Edelux II light on our trip last summer.
Worked like a champ till I taco'd the wheel riding off a shoulder. Got caught in a truck draft that pushed me sideways 4 feet into a gravel shoulder with a drainage hole.
The hub is fine, I just have to rebuild the wheel with a new rim. Been a little lazy.
