Ted, I know it’s probably not a popular choice, but in all seriousness I thought the brown paint job on that recent resto looked really good- certainly ‘period’’ as they say. Would be an excellent compromise?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Currently stripping & painting the steering column & alloy top head.
They will all be painted black.

We have repaints where we have the stripes painted on and not transfers, we use stainless spokes instead of crap normal steel ones that rust for fun, loads of examples like that.

IMO, we place far too much emphasis on it being exactly like it was when it came out of the factory and frankly that's virtually impossible, unless you've got one stored in a packing crate somewhere there will always be something that's not original fitment. If it works, look right and goes and stops right that's good enough for me.

I'll drink to that! 👍🍻
