I'd like to get the collective opinion of the group on a cosmetic issue
I'm considering doing the frame in something other than Basic Black. I'm thinking bronze or gold, probably a matt finish, might look really nice. The bike initially will be wearing black Roadster bodywork but eventually I'd like to turn it into a Fastback LR. I'd probably do the Fastback bodywork in a dark red.
There's a couple of examples of this on the Colorado Norton Works website. In the photo gallery, Build #19 shows an LR. That's about the color I have in mind, but with a black frame. Build #43 shows a red Roadster with a light bronze frame. That's kind of what I have in mind for my frame, only maybe a bit darker or golder.
So what do you all think? Go for it or stick to black? That's more original and it's harder to see the oil leakage!
