I have a black 38 Hercules and an olive green Raleigh Golden Arrow. I've seen maroon and red paint jobs from that era.
I think the BSA is a great bike. But maybe it's just my sensibility but I think the pink paint job looks ridiculous on a bike of that style and vintage. Kinda like dressing up Sarah Vaughn to look like Christina Aquilera...too much style and class to paint it like a hootchie!
