thank you guys for all the replies.
due ruote:The red underneath the green paint is primer. And I really want to put campy gear on it hopefully budget permits.
realestvin7: I like the "green goblin"... might have to use that if I repaint green!
martl: WOW! I really like your bikes!! And thanks for all the info, There isn't much on the web for his line of bicycles, just himself.
snydermann: thanks for the info on the Lotus, do you think it's a lost cause as ex pres does?


I have a question or two for you guys now. Do you think I should remove the badges to strip and paint the frame, or should I just mask them. I want the frame to look new and fresh but retain the patina of the badges. I ve used "aircraft stripper" on other projects, but do you think it work it's way under the masking??

next question is about wheel selections. I need your advise on what to run on these bikes. I've never even heard of tubular tires before and that alone scares me from them!!!
