I would pull the metal decal off if you paint/powdercoat the frame and then re-attach if you like the way it looks. You could also budget paint the frame if you are a DIY person. I really enjoy road conversions and that frame, if it fits well, looks to be of a decent quality. Plus in feb. the kilo tt frameset will be available alone. or if you decide you want a "real" track frame you could look into any number of really nice framesets later and transfer parts.

Hey man, I wouldn't even touch the paint. Maybe it's just the photos, but it looks to be in good condition and that blue is very vivid and sexy.

^ - Agreed. And it's a road conversion of a cheap Japanese bike-boom frame. It's a good frame for all your riding needs, but it ain't worth the money a powder-coating costs.

true true the paint is actually really scratched and chipped off if i took a better closer picture i think ill just go the DIY paint route.

If you go DIY paint read up first. I just gave it a shot for the first time, I'm happy with how it came out but I think i will end up re doing it sometime. There are some really good explanations of how to thoroughly paint a bike and have good results.

yep i will definatly read up on it :) cant wait to start

my preference is always used instead of new but thats just me because i am poor :D

i built an ss olympic 12, looks like the same bike?
