I think it's beautiful, which counts for a lot with me..I love the color and have an affinity for the older frames without creamy details. But it's a road bike with road rear spacing that you're going to have to have 26" wheels built for, you're going to have a very hard time finding a set already built that isn't 135 spacing. And it's overpriced no matter how much we all might appreciate supporting the museum.
I won't tell you what choice to make but I think you can see what I would do..
