Dunno what it is. Maybe a Dawes? Nice sort of orangy gold and that vivid candy green that the english bikes used to have. Wish it were still shiny.

This is the green I have and the orange is quite a good combo I think (too flashy?)! Here is what Newbaums (I like how they use natural dyes) have in selection. So I definitely like the idea of classic brown, orange, and their dark red. I also like the blue and purple but may be too dark? Tires: white? brown? I'm leaning towards the brown. Pictures from Rivendell and VO.

I think tan, lighter green, or a yellow would look great. Check out https://www.greengrips.org
