@Jake1 I have your bike badged as Guerciotti with red anodized tubing. I mine is 100% original (even tires and inner tubes!). They do ride great for aluminium frames. Be careful with those GEL280s!

I'll see if I can finish my latest project in the next week since I've already entered my present ride sometime in the past year or two.

I'd better throw a Raleigh in here - just completed a rustoration of this 1949 Raleigh Sports, all original parts - taken to bits, cleaned, lubed and reassembled. I had to repaint the headlamp though as it's so "in your face"!
Pictures taken before the rear brake cable was fitted whilst the sun was out.
Similar to the Lentons of the same year but not 531, much rarer than a Lenton though.

Very pretty.

Dreamy, creamy, golden cappuccino Nishiki with the fattest, creamiest tires that would fit.
