Did you respray yourself?

edit: 1982 spec page for AD from the Bulgier.net site:

I see that the Inter10 and Olympian share tubeset (DB531), fork (531), head tube angle (74), Bocama lugs, Gipiemme drop-outs with the same wheelbase. Inter10 for '82 is listed as a frameset, Olympian built with Nervar crank and Huret. Maybe you should rebadge it Olympian?

I love the ride of mine with tubular wheels. Especially above about 16mph for my 61cm frame.
Thanks, I did spray it myself - rattle-can at that. With a satin finish it wasn't too much of a challenge, just a lot of even light coats and some sanding in between. I'll probably stick with the decals I ordered, I'm still not 100% sure I'm going to use the "Vent Noir" decals, probably just the AD... I'll decide when then get here...
I agree with you on the Gatorskins, they aren't very forgiving, but they'll do for the time being. Any suggestions as to my next set of tires?
