But Cudak has me considering painting the whole frame and fork so I could then just braze the stops directly to the frame.

Black Raleighs are sexy.

Plus, if you want, you can fill any lug voids with silver while the frame is stripped.

I do like 'em black 3 speed!

I have a black restomod Hercules with 700c wheels that will always be my favorite bike (don't tell my other bikes),

Rode a century around Lake Tahoe on it last summer with 5,000'+ of climbing, averaged 16 MPH even (rolling average).

So, I won't go black on this one, a brighter green like some of the Raleigh's from the 70's could look good...
