I really like the gold colour of some old Claudes... I'd seen the decals available from bicycledecals.net, but hadn't seen the H Lloyd ones...

I'm also not sure how much I want to spend on the bike, there is a lot of chrome that is very dodgy, but getting it redone can be really expensive, so im not 100% sure what way I'm going to go. The Campagnolo Gransport deraileur is particularly deteriorated...

I sort of stumbled onto the bike and am not a massive bike rider, so don't really want to spend $1000 unexpectedly...

It will likely take a fair while to get done, however I'll certainly update this thread with progress pics!

Thanks again for the help!
Welcome. You would make a lot of people happy, myself included, if your project is thoroughly photographed and continued on this or a new thread. I think that would be an awesome color choice.
