I'm weird. For one I love this photograph - I think it may have been sepia toned a bit, but looking closely, I see the cable routing even back then is top-notch. Rear mech cabling along the top-tube, down the rear stay, and into the rear mech. For the period, it's pretty well forward thinking, or if you like very backward thinking considering it was the way it was done upto the 50s more-or-less.
Front mech cable routing is still via the down-tube; no choice back then I guess. A pulley wheel on the seat-tube sort of solved this in the early MTB world. Pretty sure I ranted sometime ago over how retarded modern gravel bikes are still duplicating normal road cable routing. I get depressed when I see so called top class modern stuff that fails to learn what really makes sense.
Anyhow, I would love a retro machine like this, but I suspect uber rare.
