myself i'd rather have some beat original paint.
so spending 150 to have braze-ons replaced and then 200-400 or whatever it costs for a quality repaint is going to cause me to keep looking.
I appreciate the clarification on those pics DV. I guess I'm not really in agreement with the unused or trashed part, as I use my FG/SSs for commuters/townies, as do a lot of people in Austin, maybe this isn't true of your neck of the woods. Could you elaborate a bit on why they are trash or unusable?
