I had an identical bike ten years ago and went “fast” with it. Stripped it down like you and rode it like a madman through the nights. Drunk as a uni student of course.
One corner too sharp and the pedal hit the ground:
Cartilage damage in the knee, torn posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament.
On another occasion the seatpost snapped and I had to ride standing, which went good until the fucking stem came loose and I took a dive in front of the bike. Snapped a finger joint out of place on that one.
I called it “the antichrist” and gifted it to a friend who had only minor accidents so far.
Stay safe! And yes they are hella fun, I kinda miss it. I keep thinking about it every time my knee hurts.
