Hi Alan!
My first thoughts had been to duplicate the original mix of blue, but when Norris & I swapped frames, I reconsidered.
Frankly, I would have loved to go with Sunkist Orange, or, possibly Fire Engine Red (for the added speed). BUT, the problem was the downtube transfers which had only ever been done in Red. I suppose I could have gone back to Greg to ask for a set in another color, but . . .
So, Emerald green in the "flamboyant" finish. Norris tried to talk me into red lug lining, but I stuck with gold. The panels were also pretty necessary for the Wrigley Cycles crest. I'd have hated to hide your great artwork on a solid color background.
Both the panel work and the lug lining is really fine.
More photos will follow, but I'm at work, so can't do it until this evening.
