Berthouds are beautiful. Should make that blue pop!
Nothing wrong with the fact that SKS offers Bluemels either

...except their price.
The ones I've seen in person seem to fare pretty well. There were some spots on my own hub but nothing too bad.
I have however, seen some pretty bad examples from second-hand sellers. Though I suspect these were used near the sea with this much corrosion.

I've used the Berthouds on my girlfriend's Gazelle mixte. They are holding up pretty well and were fairly easy to mount.
Looking forward to working with them again.
SKS used to offer the longblades in "cappuccino", a cream color, I think those would look great on your
Raligh Sports.
