Re:

Very nice, who did you use in the end to repaint?

Mercian. It seems to have been a good call, the quality of the finish is great.

That's a very nice gold . Raleigh said that the gold was a lightweight option, their gold track frames destined for greatness had only a light dusting and you could almost see the steel underneath.

I've got a Viner track frame that would look nice in that colour, as would any SABA, does the gold they used have a name?

Re:

The wonder of colour names, they can be so evocative, Ferrari Red, Celeste Blue, British Racing Green, or as in this case Shaun, Polychromatic No.10.

That looks smashing. Give Nick at HLloyd a call and see if he can do you a special foil badge
