Oh and my fav thing is the blue cages on the Suntour beartaps cos we always modded everything back in the day didn't we    And they look great 

Was just looking at those, how did you get the white lettering done?  Were they done from a restored pair of cages or a new set?

The cages were in pretty good condition, i had them stripped and re-anoed blue at the same time as the wheels ..
The white lettering is easier to do than you would think .. The cages need to be in a fairly good conditon where the lettering is...
The lettering is already stamped into the pedals , i just used a stone chip car paint repair .. the 2 pen kit has an extremely fine nib so you can get the paint into where it is stamped into the pedal and any excess just wipe away with a cloth and it leaves the paint in the stamped lettering .
Takes about 2 mins ..

Thanx everyone for your kind comments 
Cheers
