Nice! Look forward to seeing the big reveal! :daumenhoch:

Going back to og colours, I've seen a few in white, red and baby blue to make me feel that they may have been the "stock" ones offered but that's just a guess. Plus I'm only talking about the 80s frames - my knowledge thereafter becomes even less reliable! :D

Looks sweet, and defo looks OG to me. Looking forward to seeing the end result. I love the colour, especially for a race bike, that would have really stood out in 84!  :daumenhoch:

I have a soft spot for Limo's. For me they were the start of true mid school as their geometry was so ahead of its time. In the late 80's they also did a yellow with blue decals as can be seen in the pic below. If there is one pic that symbolises the birth of Mid School it has to be this. A limo and a Mad Dog getting thrashed around a track in jeans and sweaters. :daumenhoch:

Red, chrome ,white and baby blue were the main ones .The original baby blue I had was chrome underneath when I stripped it.A lot came with chrome forks as well.
