Tel,
No sign of the cheque yet, maybe you forgot as you were drinking coffee with the new kettle.
Here is the link mentioned by Steven - as Kenny Everett would say, "It;s all done in the best possible taste!"

Still undecided about the paint - any assistance would be appreciated. I like the chrome on the brochure pics but i am not so sure about the colours.

Hm I see the dilemma...it's hard to know what to do if history is lost! My Ciocc most likely hard full panto Nuovo Record 3TTT stem, and panto ring/shifters.
Right now the panto stem is too new (80s) and I put Super Record on it. Still hunting panto parts, some people would have put on NR but I love the look of SR, so until I have full panto NR (like, never?) I'll stick with that.
I'd go for pearl metallic white, or red (as red bikes go faster)
You've seen my silver Ciocc, so depending on how you like silver that's an option too. I find silver is harder to finish in a way as it's silver group + silver stem +...lots of silver, but some people LOVE silver bikes and the silver is very subtle and colors with environmental light.
Bob Jackson painting seems a bit cheaper, £100 for most colours + decal costs BUT their shipping deal isn't valid for Norn Ire, so you need to sort courier.
http://www.homeofchrome.co.uk/ is a place that LFGSS recommended. Much cheaper if you post to chrome place yourself, though check shipping costs! As it means NI > Chromer > Bob > NI and don't know if chrome place can redirect for you.

Jawine,
Thanks for the pointers - i did consider a similar scheme to the original with chrome recently but i think the chrome might be 'lost' in the white. I had not considered silver for the Rossin - i will give that some thought (and silver might be a good colour for another one of my frames).
RE getting shipping etc done - i can work something out with friends in England to move it about should i need to.
Thanks for the pointers, it has given me more to think about!!

It's hard to lose chrome, you'd think silver + chrome you don't notice the chrome a lot...but the bling is there
Red/chrome stands out more I think but it's all up to taste, the team color suggestions are good too.
I personally would restore as bought if you are a 100% sure that's the way the bike was first finished. From reading this thread however the issue is that nobody knows for sure.
I have no history on my Ciocc there may have been a club badge where the two big paint damage scars on TT are, but nobody knows.

One of these days I am going to choose the color for you Richard. Don't tempt me 'cause I will pick something awful.
Or better yet lets decide by committee:
