Yes, yes. So what I've gathered is that no one thinks I should repaint the bike. I must admit, if it still looked this good I wouldn't dream of it. But as I mentioned, these past few years of commuting have not been kind to the paint job. I guess I'll see how it looks after I get it all cleaned up.
...and Maddox that's the photo from the original CL posting, from, wow 2 years ago. How time flies. I'll post more photos once I get her cleaned up. This was all spurred by my finally finding a pair of beautiful tubulars with Campy record hubs for a completely reasonable price today. So the next week or so will be devoted to restoration.
Does anyone know anything about these late 80's Miele frames though? I heard Miele was building in Canada then, but the frame says Italy. Any ideas about Rossin's involvement? Tubing?
Thanks all!
