I didn't like the bar-end shifters so I popped some old 105 downtube shifters on there, it is fine but I am now used to STI shifters from my Ciocc and Roubaix so I don't shift too often with the Razesa.

400$ is pretty steep for a paint job, I guess I will maybe give it a rattle-can job and see how it goes. I painted my old Miele with spray paint and I did a half-assed job and it still lasted for a couple of years. Powder-coating is nice but the embossing details on the seat stays on my Ciocc were filled in as powder-coating is thicker than paint. The Razesa has a lot of embossed details which I would hate to see marred.
