I was thinking of nicer originally Woz. Great project, but not something I would do as its all non reversable. Still very interesting to watch though.

Holy s**t that's nice
Yes, I can understand your point. The never ending debate of keeping things original or not.
Thankfully, I only got the frame, so have a good excuse to bastardise it - restoring the bike to original from a bare frameset is not very feasible in this case imho.
What I do know, is that chances of me riding this bike regularly in its original form are very slim, while with all the mods I am hoping to make this one of my main bikes. In my view, if it puts a frameset in use & gets me riding & gives me what I'm looking for, then all the mods are worth it.

Er no thanks.
Fair enough.
PS If I were you, I definitely wouldn't look at the other bike that seller is advertising.
Bosses in place. As a bonus, they are almost centred on the tubes!
For a 7mm rivnut I've drilled 3mm holes, then enlarged to 6mm and then finished off with a 7mm reamer. The reamer leaves a nice round hole while the drill bits seem to leave a bit of a jagged edge.
Also polished the badge with a dremel and coated it with several layers of shellac. Hopefully that will stop the oxidising process.
