That really is eye wateringly pretty. Turbomatic saddle would match the rim graphics nicely but yes plastic Selle potty would also be amazing. These guys might be able to hook you up with tape https://www.steel-vintage.com/ambrosio-grade-nos-handlebar-tape-detail
Why are you changing the fork?

Thanks guv. Thats what I'm trying to go for, nice look but also not mad out of place or too modern. I think the pink to dark purple would be the most aesthetically pleasing but have also been tempted by yellow to white.
I love the original fork but I got an argos one cheap and in the right size so thought it could look alright. Committed already to getting it repainted so worth a punt at least.

Coronation Virus Quarantine Update -
Stuck indoors for the foreseeable future, heres a list of stuff I wanna upgrade or do to this. Mario Vaz is currently painting an argos fork in benotto gold so looking forward to when that is finished to install on this.
Maybe also thinking to change the fluted seatpost to an aero one and also fit a Turbomatic 2 saddle as the Volare will need a new skin of fabric soon. I would love one of those ridic plastic aero saddle things that idiots sell for way too much on the internet, for this but prob not gonna happen.
Anyone wanna chip in some thoughts/opinions?
