Just finished building this up! Still playing around with the fit. I didn't really like the stock paint/graphics on this frame. I felt they were too busy and that they took away from the frame itself, so I repainted it!

It is definitely tighter on the Raleigh, and build quality is better also. Cheers!

How did you repaint this frame and how much did it cost you? Done professionally? I kinda want to do the same to mine (I have the exact same frame as you, it looks like)

I sandblasted the frame and then primed and painted, sanding very lightly in between. I did it all myself. Cheers!

One more question, how much was this frameset new? I can't seem to find a price anywhere.

I paid $599 plus tax. If I remember correctly it was a small run of frames.
