this topic has been getting a lot of attention.. your responses got me thinking. for the sake of all those who don't want me to do a hack job on this.. its not really a "hack job." i handle my bikes with care.. EXTREME care and precise with detail work. the frame has some spots of rust which was why i wanted to repaint it. i decided not to cut anything or repaint it yet. im gonna ride this frame for a while and see how i like it. i ride all the bikes and frames i own.. i see no point in collecting something and not using it for its purpose. who would be able to appreciate it, other than myself, if its just hanging in the garage. if suits me and i decide keep it. its probably gonna be repainted and the braze-ons grind down.. for the sake of keeping pants, well.. pants. in any case, i'll be sure to post some pictures for your viewing pleasure. oh.. and if i do decide to sell the frame and fork. you'll be the first to know Robbie!
