FWIW, I have an Alan Wanta respray as well. Good stuff.
Thanks. I know a lot of guys would have left it as-is, but I felt the frame deserved better. There was a lot of paint missing on the top tube and the drive-side chainstay had received it's fair share of chain slap. I think the current paint matches the level of build quality the frame had all along.
