Awww, heck.
No point in regrets, I guess.
It's fun and my first vintage bike. (Since I'm so short where I live, I've NEVER found one in my size.) But it reminds me of why I fell in love with bikes. Their simple understated beauty, the elegance of locomotion, their personality and fun.
If I do spend more on it, I don't know if I'll regret it that much. It's pretty cute. Cute as a bug, actually. If it becomes unrideable or cost-prohibitive, I'll hang it on my wall. (This will send my S/O into fits.)
