Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

That's pretty crazy.

Obligatory nitpicking:

If the front hub is a dynohub, why the bottle dynamo? If the front hub is drum brake, why the stirrup brake?
Radial spokes? really?
I'd want to hammer the rivets in the saddle down before they tear my pants.
Someone missed an opportunity to do some fancy marquetry decals and headbadge.
