It's back from Armourtex. Nice job - sort of metallic brown-grey. Hard to photograph without a better camera but has a nice sort-of-sepia look to it:
The little 'M's on the fork crown still clearly visible under the powdercoat - an unexepected detail for a low-end frame.
These are the decals I'm planning to use. You have to imagine a bit as the tubing is really Vitus 888 rather than 172 and the frame is obviously a late-'70s Super Sprint and not a Grand Jubilé (just realised I missed the 'd' off the title of this post - shit):
I'll stick these on tomorrow and should have the wheels and tyres ready, so better pics then I hope.
