I'd prefer the original look!

You might as well have badged it Ferrari...Galiofly, or Fiat Coupe yellow - Broom.

Never did like those fadey-faddy 80s colour schemes.

Looks nice in yellow though, yellow is good.

Rk.

I suppose its all up to the owner of the bike but the Ducati decals are laughable ! A bit like what you see a BMW or Porsche bike

The only bike i like to see with a name on it has got to be the Ferarri Colnago's.

I bet it gets some looks by the motor-bike buff's

Nice frames

Nice frames these...I got the '501 Club' from the same range under the Raleigh 15 year warranty. We had a Raleigh Pursuit which cracked on the chainstay where the mudguard bracket affixed (all the warranty jobs we got in broke there!). Bet it rides nice.

Ducati

Here's one I built for a friend who has a Ducati ..

Just received the last decals for the full refurb from H Lloyd Cycles.

Service from Nick was fantastic, helping to sort 2 of the decals that weren't on the shop list.

10/10. Can't praise his efforts more.

Now dressed in black...well ok, back to original.

Back in her proper clothes...and a few upgrades.

Still a head turner after 25+ years.

That's better, nice job.

Better in its original scheme....
