Trying to get the best colour coding..have i made right choice

[coco69]

My raleigh is mint and completed so i wanted a similar age with a modern groupset....then thats me done.
Anyway inspired by the documentory..the ride of my life i am completing something similar...but a lot cheaper.
The wheel/tyre combo isnt the finished article as looking for whitealloy wheels with gumwall.
Owned loads of bikes over past few years and now i finally know what i like...im not a lycra speedster and never will be..i simply like to just jump on a bike and away i go.
Anyway here are few pics of 90% done with the colour i think suits bike..bit of chrome..bar tape and saddle

Forgot to add...only thing im not sure of is chrome forks so may ring up rourkes for a price to paint same as frame

Nice - apart from the tyres and possibly the wheels ... (aha! now I understand about the wheels. And yes, they'd be much better).

Very nice frame scheme .... How does she ride?

Forks are fine .... loose the black wheels and coloured tyres!!!
Say Hi to Gareth for me :-)

Not sure on the brown seat and bar tape, The frame colour is spot on.

I think the forks would look better with the right wheels - which I think should be silver! I also think the black cables look a bit incongruous, though that's just being a bit picky: it's a super looking bike with a pretty much perfect mix of retro and mod
