Yeah, you're completely right, I should definitely look at other options. Just need to seek out some inspiration! I've never picked a paint job for a bike as all mine are second hand & I wasn't that fussed about that part of it. Maybe I'll print out some outlines of the frame & go to town with some crayons & see what works, aha.
Fully stripped down the frame now. It's remarkable how heavy the original forks are - the carbon forks I got used to using (plus headset) weighed less than half the weight of these! I do like the matching look though.
Pinged an email off to Bob Jackson too. Hoping to take the frame across (can probably see Bob Jackson's workshop from our front bedroom window, being just over the valley) & get any issues sorted, can decide on the paint style later.

Aha.. and here I thought the original paint job was a bit of a snooze.
I agree with @jono84 that a rewamp of the original paint job would be an interesting idea!

I mean, unless you really like the current paint job, I'd say this was an excuse to get something better - or wilder..
