i'll give my dissenting opinion.

the 610 is a fine frame. a sandblast and powdercoat would INCREASE the resale value and ADD originality. it is not worth much as it stands, but it is sure worthy of fixing up.

with that said, check for dents, bends, etc. if it has any of those, all bets are off.

if you want to go the extra step, why not get canti bosses added (and any other braze-ons)? these are fairly inexpensive to do, and maybe you can even get a discount if you get all the work done at the same place. by the time you are done, you'll have a nice custom frame at a fraction of the cost of new.
