I seem to have amassed a small collection of bikes (specifically a Faggin, Araya, Colnago, Univega, and maybe a Peugeot) which will require more work than I can do. i.e., strip, re-paint, re-create decals, etc. I know of a place is southern CA (about $600-700, before shipping), and I think Waterford used to do this. Does anyone know of/recommend any others?

Come on...How bad are the bikes? The repaint of a frame is really as offensive as a fixed gear rider cutting off the braze ons. How bad can they be?

Leave the Colnago and Faggin alone unless they have crusty brown protrusions. A little surface rust is not going to hurt.
