Bikes: 1967 Paramount; 1982-ish Ron Cooper; 1978 Eisentraut "A"; two mid-1960s Cinelli Speciale Corsas; and others in various stages of non-rideability.

Here it is, my 1982-ish Cooper. I took it to Ed Litton to get the frame repainted and the fork rechromed. I just finished the build-up last night, and it has only been around the block a couple times for final adjustments - it well get some serious attention this weekend. It looks even better in sunlight - the blue is dazzling and the white lettering just pops. I have a white Rolls saddle that I just put on another bike, and I'm debating moving it over to the Cooper.



Here is a repost of the "before" photo. I know it doen't lok like it needed a respray, but the paint and the chrome were both showing signs of potential bad things happening underneath that I wanted to nip in the bud.
