Glad to see you got it fixed Don. Will it be repainted? Or left this way?

You should definitely keep it like this, Ian did an amazing job restoring it.

Ian really brought this back to life. It's very unfortunate that you can't keep it. It's a work of art. :(

You're going to repaint it? But it looks soooo badass right now!!
Posted over 12 years ago
Sadly and happily, yes. I would like to keep it as is but I am afraid of rusting. I used this bike as my commuter so rust will definitely be an issue.

Put frame saver in the frame and let the outside get a light layer of surface rust! It would be so awesome

what bars are those? i haven't been able to find ergo-shaped bars that will fit through a quill stem.

how are those velo orange rims holding up? i've been looking at them for a while but can't find much info on them

sorry for the late reply. the velo orange are fine. a bit heavy but they look awesome. i dented them going over a big pot hole first time i rode them but the wheels are still true and been riding them since.
