Can I be cheeky and ask how much a paint job like that might cost?

Sorry - ignore that - just been to Bob Jackson website and seen prices. Cheaper than I thought!

orange,

the repaint and decals cost £130 from bob jackson cycles in leeds.
to be honest, i,ve just aquired 2 new retro frames and i may be tempted to sell my frame for a bit less than that.
let me know if you are interested.
