That's a beautiful job - look forward to seeing it with some different tyres on! Do you have a picture of the state it was in when you bought it? Be interesting to see the difference.

definitely gumwalls, I second that

these wouldn't look out of place?

The bike looks really good! I have one very similar, dark red / light blue & gold outline, also a Mirage, although i have no idea of its age. Could anyone help?? Stamped under BB shell is AH262 Pic below.
Thanks

all original, no repro here

Tidy job you've done. Looks brand new. I like it.

Amazing bike. I have one bought new by my dad in 75 or 76. Identical colours and spec. Doesn't look quite so good now, but probably restoreable
