My Carlton rebuild is coming along nicely and it is time to get the frame and forks painted. So the question is, what colour?
I am not having it done in the original silver as I simply do not like silver! I have however obtained a set of replacement Carlton and Reynolds decals so I want a simple one colour scheme that would not be out of character for the bike. I have the choice of tan or black saddle and bar tape and it will be running a full (highly polished!) Arabesque groupset.
I have spent many a happy hour over the last few weeks looking for inspiration and my favourite at the moment is sky blue with tan saddle and bar tape.

Suggestions please!
How she looked when I first got her.
