Here is my quote from argos fipor the same frame!
"Respray frame and fork one colour pearl £160.00
Fitting and lacquer over charge for decals £25.00
Cost of decals £30.00 (typical average)
531 decals £14.00
Carriage £35.00 (covers collection and delivery if required)
Estimated total Inc vat £244.00
Re chroming forks would add another £160.00
Our average turnaround is 4-5 weeks for this type of work."

@Nob - I know, I like being contrary, in my head "looks nice" > "same gruppo". I couldn't have a 100% gruppo anyway since the low stack height on the fork means a DA headset wouldn't fit.
@mrgumby - they're not cheap or quick, but they do a fabulous job. Whether you consider them VFM will depend on your viewpoint. Also, H Lloyd will do you decals at less than half that price which Argos will fit. And I live near Bristol so no postage.

Thanks Sam. I think it's a 23" frame, and I ended up with an 80mm Cinelli XA with a weird blank insert instead of the usual "flying C". The brakes you are interested in were on this bike for about 6 months, but they didn't quite fit with the DA drivechain so I've now replaced them with DA 7400 which suit better.

What do Argos call this colour? It looks just what I'm after for my Raleigh.

Really nice colour. I think i will have to buy another racer to paint, instead of getting one that just needs a polish on the paint work. lol.
Well done.
