The nineties called. It wants its paint back. It lessens the chance of SMIDSY though. I don't know how you'll find the lycra to match it.

Hearty congrats 😀
That's the best paint job I've seen in ages.

Mind you, I remember the 70's.
Our living room had two purple walls, two orange ones and a green sofa.
Drugs were BETTER back then.

I believe it's also available in black for miserableists with no imagination.

I actually like it the Whippet looks good in that colour as well.

But my bike is bright yellow.
