i know they were nice, but they were not amazing frames, not exceptional, not rare, and lacking in character. just nice. like a an early 90s toyota, a shelving unit from ikea, or a dinner at the olive garden. bikes like that to me are great candidates for conversion. frames that lack the hallmark detailing of fine craftsmanship, those are the ones i dont think i mind seeing go.
I will say though, I general prefer the paint before its been redone to something that becomes too precious...
