Gonna be a workhorse with a nod to it's heritage, definatley not a restoration. What I've decided so far is:

Brooks saddle
SA Hub brakes & IGH
VO's fluted fenders painted black with a white tail
Full chain case from Yellow Jesey
Rack? either a period rack with Brooks Bricklane panniers or Wald wire baskets.

I'll post more when the wheel set gets installed.
Could you please share your process for painting the V.O. fenders?

Thanks,
