I've decided to put the new decals I purchased over the original paint and then put it back together. The inspiration for my handlebar/stem combo, the top tube pump, and fenders are late Raleigh Super Lentons and other models from the late 1950s that were advertised with "continental" handlebars in the catalogs.

I have Huret Jubilee derailleurs on another bike that I will switch over to the Super Course. I'm excited to get it on the road as a truly vintage rider! Nothing new or refurbished here, so less to worry about!

Good call on keeping the original paint. A little careful touchup will fix those bad spots. Is that your artwork on top of the dresser?
