I opted for the repaint (via Dr. Deltron). The original frame had a a good deal of surface rust and I got the whole bike for $26. I got the Trek decals from Dan Siniff via vintage trek (mswantak was out of commission at the time) for $20 and the reynolds decals from flea bay for $10.

The bike looks great, ride great and gets a good bit of attention from other riders. If the original paint were better, I would not have gottent it re-painted but the rust made me uneasy and I wanted to make sure he frame was solid. I am very happy with the result.

The invoice that was posted in a previous thread regarding the total cost did not take into account the Merlin I shipped the good Dr. If memory serves me, he sent me money and the frame!
