How's the levers and shifters research going?
It’s Teal.... (seriously that’s what it’s called)
Yeah that Catalogue green never saw the light of day. As for the 92 Teal Cape & the 89 Pagan. Honestly you couldn’t tell them apart.Madness. I have downloaded that catalogue and to be Frank their image is green.
I swear my bike is darker than your teal Cape Wrath but it is nowhere near as green as the catalogue bike:

Dawes 1994 https://dawescycles.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/1994-dawes-cat.pdfUm......
Slight change of plans?
I've decided to do a proper restoration on the Pagan, it means something to me due to having owned it from new. Any other bike means nothing so I'm going to tinker about with this local Gumtree find:

Woohoo! Err....... 1994 Dawes Street Life 12 Speed model....... bottom of the range!
40 quid? Rude not to?
Thought this would make a better gravel path bike with its lighter frame, 700c wheels and SKS mudguards. It rides nicely, no knocks, chain is worn, whole bike is covered in road grime, but shiny under that, Weinmann alloy calipers might suck but it has Rigida rims and properly high rise handlebars.
I will launch a new thread for The Dawes and keep popping up here with the Claud resto.
I need to find the RAL paint code nearest this '89 Pagans' green/blue/aqua, I'm going to change my colour choice at the finishers and have the original colour redone.
Heres the Pagan again:

But the colour photographs very differently under different light sources:
Is it blue or green?
