I've just finished a repainting project on a 20 year old Fuji frame. Old, yes. Special? It isn't if you want to compare it to the new materials frames are constructed from today. Personally, I love an old fashioned steel lugged frame. If you spend the time and prepare the frame properly for new paint, the results just might surprise you.

I can post some before and after pics if you are interested.

Cheers!
