Good thing I took photos to refer to before I took it apart. Maybe I should have taken them facing upside down from the same perspective I was putting it back together.
It looks like it came out great. I remember your PM about this project and I think you went the best route of all. As nice as it is to have nice, new plating, it seems out of place unless you do the rest of the bike entirely. For a preservation like this, I think there's no shame in bare metal. That's the condition and age of the bike through its natural state. I'd be too tempted to ride it to leave it without tires, but that's just my preference. Nice bike.
I agree with Mike, I'd want to ride it. If it were mine I'd probably find a second set of hubs & build a second set of wheels (700c) to ride on keeping the original wheels intact for show.
