Yes. Those gold are a bit "blingy" aren't they? Whereas the black are perfect IMO. Glad to help with this cracking job

I really like the Goldie Bling, think it really pops with the tan saddle and gold decals, an excellent contrast to the black...two against one so far!

Black looks classy, gold well hummm... 2 all...

All gone a bit JPS Lotus but I never thought i'd be saying this..... A bit too much for me.

Final reveal this evening hopefully.
But yes, it was getting a bit too much, so black guards & cable outers should hopefully finish it off with a sufficient level of understated quality to induce the appropriate countenance from such esteemed purveyors of vintage velocipedes as your fine selves.

Just got in and started the cabling with the rear mech, all finished and happy with the Brooks wrap and moved on to the left bar/front mech when I was advised it’s my turn to cook….

Advised or TOLD ???

The original Shimano hoods failed at the last moment so I’ve had to swap them out with some Dia-compe repros.
