It's my (state) retirement present.
And you can still get magenta flamboyant brush enamel:

Cheers,
I'll get the frame this week and I can see what needs doing.
It seems to have chromed head lugs which I didn't realise was an option.
I'm also guessing the rear can handle 120mm or be cold set easily, I don't know what the OLD was in 1953.
My main ride is a 1961 Cyclone with Stronglight 49D + TA rings, New Winner ultra 6, mafac racers, and large flange tubulars.
So I could do something similar, but undecided yet - more research required.
The main issue atm is how to repaint it in magenta flamboyant, that will require some practise.

And how to avoid painting those lovely lugs, as well as bringing them back to their shining loveliness!
