Would you ride it with that top bar?

Just an opinion; it should be fixed if ridden much.
I would not want to be on it when it gives out completely.

Wouldn’t a nice welding job fix that

Screw up that original patina, but what choice do you have?

I get the patina issue, but I like the best of both worlds with my bicycles, .....they are really works of art and can display as such, but...
Like driving an old Model T or riding a 1936 BSA M20( and I’ve done both), riding a vintage bicycle (especially prewar ), is magical. If I can’t ride them, I lose half the fun of ownership.
But I get the patina issue
I guess it’s fix it solid or display it.
