You could just clear-coat that frame. But a really bright deep red would be grand too.
The older handlebars had deep drops - I went with a more modern profile so the tops are at the right height but the drops weren't too far away.
Also, are the Suntour cantis of the Peterson self-energizing design? What is the diameter of the Tange headset? Our Trek uses 1&1/4 which is hard to find at a reasonable price.
Does your stoker keep her feet up at stops?
