Thinking?

You already have a beautiful Raleigh in one of the finest colors. Black is the worst color for a classic frame (it very rarely works), and lined lugs will make it look much older. And also very high contrast and insensitive choices in colors for lining etc will make it look cheap and rough. It can maybe maybe work if you select the colors very carefully and
DON'T go all black and have a tint of some color.

All black will make it look like an urban beater bike.

But hey, that's just me.
