Renovation done by Argos Cycles http://www.argoscycles.com/ who did an unbelievable job. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Apart from the paintwork they also removed the pump-peg, and widened the rear drop out distance from 126mm to 130mm, as far as possible because the frame won't coldset very easily being Reynolds 653, so needs springing out very slightly to fit the rear wheel.
Paint Colour: Aviator Grey (Audi TT 2000-2001)
Paint Code: LZ7W (Slightly pearlescent)
