And for the second question, it depends on the frame and what you paid. I paid $25 for my Trek TX-500 and $80 for a powder coat. Worthwhile to me.

Yup - I paid $5 for the Mondia.....the whole bike, Campy/Suntour Superbe parts and all. I've never regretted spending the $425 for the restoration - not one penny. The pain in the wallet is long since gone. The joy is fresh every time I look at it and/or ride it. Just had it out today, and a man stopped me to ogle it and talk about it.

Worth every penny. Better than a trophy wife and not near the aggravation and expense!
