I enter to win, grrrrrrr….

We might be surprised.

🤭 like I say not my colour choice but if it makes him happy.

Now the colour scheme, it will be the same look as the Daccordi but in these colours. The pink replacing the white and Green the blue.

A few more

Stripped down and components are just dirty, once I get the bottom bracket out it’s off to Mario’s.

I’ve got the same decals but it’s not going to be white.

I am not sure about the colour scheme he wants but it’s his bike.

My old friend John has this bike which he bought and had resprayed and decalled up as a Gillott. It’s been languishing in his garage and got a bit tatty. He was so pleased with the other 3 bikes I did for him that he wants this one done. And while I am at it return it to a Ken Bird. More to follow.

I think maybe people got confused because they are the same colour.🤭

Sniff, I voted for Jespers as well.

Jesper’s is well in, 1070’s must have some stories to tell

Hill climbing?

Complete, not too bad.

A few more, not top end but says the frame was hand built in Raleigh factory.

Getting there, just mudguards, bartape and new pedals. Looks to be good clearance for mudguards with 28’s fitted. Then just a good service and lube.

Rack and saddle on, just waiting for mudguards to arrive then try bigger tyres. I think I will be able to get 28’s on.

Before and after shots of this Kessels Main d’or. A light resto (clean and polish) and changing derailleurs to Simplex and Chainset to Stronglight. The wheels were damaged so needed replacing, to me it just looks right. And it rides right too...

Doesn’t look too tight under forks, I have gone for some lightweight plastic ones. He has only got a heavy hybrid bike at the moment, once I’ve converted him I will convince him he needs a proper old tourer.

I have some mudguards and a lightweight rear rack on order, see what it looks like as a light tourer. Tyres look a bit iffy so will change them to something a wee bit bigger and more touristy.
