BRM666 I love the battered original colour schemes. It's the bike's heritage.
What colour are you painting your frame, prototype?
I totally know what you mean - the white on the frame was actually a really nice pearlecent colour but the blue was quite tatty on closer inspection. I did think twice about it and actually was planning on riding around as it for a while before the respray (and after reading your post a quick 'did i do the right thing?' pop into my mind) but i got some insurance money through from an accident (which wrote off my old bike) and to stop myself blowing it on booze i thought i'd spend it on the bike quickly. It's going to be a metallic forst green with yellow lug lining - i;ve got yellow deep Vs and a yellow san marco saddle to go with it.
