Hi - not sure on the size of the hope seat clamp - although i think 92 and 97 will be different seatpost sizes - 92 by all accounts is a 26.4mm seatpost although i replaced with thomson 26.6mm with no issue
The paint job is from Argos in Bristol - best place for a proper paint job imo. for frame and fork, headset and to braze on v-brake cable routing was about £200 all in i think including posting the frame back to me.
Decals I got from graphicshack

Personally I'd change the red grips and the brakebooster against simple black, turquoise or golden ones.
Yeah parts are mixed bag as otherwise would have gone over the £500 budget set - there's a combination of original and original upgrades in combination with new replacement parts. Wasn't really going for a retro-build as such - in an ideal world i would have upgraded the groupset to high end 2012 components, but didnt really see the point as bike only sees light usage.
