I'm pleased with the overall look, although I'll probably swap out the stem for something in the 130 range when I come across one. I'll also be adding black mud flaps for practicality.
Revisiting... I like the look a lot, AZORCH. I wouldn't have thought brown would work but it does and I think it's because of the tyres and the way they are connected by the brick-red in the down tube decals.

Did you ever get to have a look at the dates on the SunTour derailleurs?
