Fuji Sprint (pista), Part II
PART #1: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...-Pista-content
Jimmy (of Raleigh Pro Mk. V fame) came by with his Fuji Sprint after I pleaded with him not to powdercoat it.
I was dead wrong - the end result looks as if it rolled off the showroom floor:
What a beauty, eh? The refinish job also allowed for some nasty damage on the lower headlug to be filed smooth. Badge has yet to be mounted.

Wow Kurt, very nice. If that is powdercoat what a nice job! Any chance of getting a closeup of some of the lugs to see the level of fill there?

I've been wanting to get my Team Miyata PC'd but I've been afraid of losing the definition on the cutouts in the lugs. This is pretty tasty.
