It's exactly the other way round: I don't mind that it's a PRO because it will be painted anyway. Could with a Deda or Cinelli bar/stem combo but they're twice the price of the PRO and since I'm going for Centaur instead of Record and Eurus instead of Shamal an 800 or 900 dollar handlebar would be too much for this bike.

Unfortunately, yes, it needs a respray. It looks quite nice from a distance but in reality it is very chipped and scratched. Besides, when painting the fork and handlebar it is best to paint the frame too. Nothing looks worse that various celeste items that are slightly off.
