Thanks both. The paint job is actually a powder coat job. Done by Colorcote here in Norfolk. They are near - and do a lot of work for -Lotus Cars at Hethel. £50 for the job. Lug lining by yours truly. Transfers (except the "Rapide") from Nick at H. Lloyd cycles. "Rapide" are waterslide bespoke jobs from CB Transfers - £15 the pair.
I confess that the frame wasn't badged Rapide when I bought it, but it's not a Romany or a Ritmo which are both tourers - mine has no eyes for racks or guards and therefore I assumed it was what I've called it....I'm sure someone out there probably knows better! And I'm sure they'll let me know.
As to the brake hoods - yes they're a bit scruffy, but quite sound. And they clean up a treat - but dirty up just as well! I'm toying with sourcing some 600 non-aero levers to qualify as an Eroica worthy machine. Apparently they don't like aero levers, despite the rule only states that the cables "must be outside the bars". Sigh.
