Hahah, you should see my frame, I sand all the rusty areas to bare metal and just leave it like that before putting a clear coat on it. So it is like original paint green, bare steel and orange primer spots. Montreal is near the top of the bike theif cities list. The goal is to make it as ugly as possible.

And craigslist is not an option since there is nothing right now in my region, there is like 3 feet of snow outside so nobody post anything in the montreal bike category.
