Neither clear coated normally as far as I've ever seen.

I may want to join you in the endeavour.

Do I need a doctor's note?

I know at least for the Merz, I'll need some sort of indication from Jim that it is indeed going on a Merz.

I had hoped for the Strawberry, a before and after powdercoat picture of the frame would suffice to prove I'm not just slapping it on an old Schwinn or selling them on the grey market.

As far as the build progress, I realized today that the Record FD has a 31.8 clamp on it. I'll shim it for now, but I wonder when the last time Campagnolo made 28.6 front derailleurs.
And I could have just had gugie braze on a FD attachment before the powdercoat... but I don't really like going that route anyway.
