This is pure opinion of course, but I think this bike is a perfect example where a restoration process somehow robs much of the soul of a bike.
I personally am just not attracted to that bike aesthetically, nor does it seem to convey a sense of it's heritage or character in that paint job. Not sure what should have been done; that very well could have been it's original color, and if it were severely distressed, it may well have had to be refinished... but the result is not good IMHO.

By the time anyone reads this the auction will be over, I don't know anything about the bike. Question is... Why, with 4.30 hours left, are there no bids on this?
if link doesn't work it is item # 110074564764
