By the way, which bike did you take those Philippe bars of?
The Grand Bois bars I got for Vittorio are supposedly a copy of Philippe Professional bars.

I'm not sure where those particular bars came from. They may have come from a bike, but I also remember buying some Philippe bar & stem sets at a swap meet in Ghent a few years ago, as I like the way they look and feel.

Okay, I can call it done for now. Still needs a bit of work here and there, but I can cycle on it. I mean, I still have to test ride it first, the weather hasn't been great lately..
And some pictures, of course. Sorry for the quality, I had to use my phone, the camera I wanted to use had no battery in it, I had forgotten to put it back

As for the Vittorio, I think one thing that would really fit this bike is a Son E6 halogen headlight. They pop up from time to time online, like this example for around €35.
But even without that its a beautiful bike.

You can say that again, I was planning to work on my bikes today as well but the fierce winds and rain in between the sun were not all that inviting.

Luckily, the weather has been much better today, so I took the bike for a short ride. I like it! The new bars are also super comfy, so I am happy with the changes I made. I would love to get a matching pair of Berthoud lowrider panniers, by the way. Can't do much touring with the small panniers I have.
