^ Yeh baby! Loving the yellow and red. Colour chart names would have to be something like - Flaming Banana and Mom's Cherry Pie...

personally i don't see the value of re-painting a vintage frame, unless it is totally and utterly shagged. more often than not, the original finish will be more durable and hard waring. just polish it and fill in scratches with hobby enamel. my 2c.

Would tend to agree mate if it looked half decent but currently it's not original and doesn't even have the right brand decals on it! As it is now:

I wrote to Gazelle with the frame no. and they're saying it was built in 1969, would be nice to do something that was true to the era - think the bright yellow and red could fit that.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
