Cheers for the info and contact details WD. I'm going to try and get in contact with the original purchaser if I can and find out exactly what colour it was new, then I can hopefully make a decision on whether to take it back to original or stick with the easy pink, as it were. When I get...

Crell - I don't think it's original because the original order states Bright Red as the colour. It does have the Blue Swallow head badge (I edited it out to make identification harder!) and also a swallow motive cast into the fork crown and also the bridge between the seat stays. Interesting...
