Get the man to take a closer pic, the middle of the top tube is near to the original colour, from memory the down tube, forks etc have faded, I compared it next to my redone one and its near bang on, very slight bluey tinge but dark, like the top tube on that one ;)

I have put each individual ones photos's in the Museum so if you need to check out the black chrome where the pads were it should be a lot clearer on the Museum photo's.

Thanks again lads
