I'd call Bilenky, too, if the time comes for a repaint. I'd get a pack of multicolored sharpies or some various fingernail polishes and touch it up for 2017 riding if it bothers you that much. |

What I did was get a friend who does retouching to find the nearest color and ordered me a spray can of it. I sanded the torch marks and scorched paint off, primed it, and did several coats of paint. Then sealed it with a blending clear coat. Came out okay, but the color match isn't perfect.

Thanks all for advice on paint touch up. Have taken care of that for now but have another question re the build and thought to ask here rather than start a new thread.
Am not quite satisfied with the cockpit set up. Which consists of Deda Zero 100 stem and bars. Basically, don't like the rise to the stem with its 82 angle and how it looks in context of the traditional straight top tube. Am considering swapping the Deda stem (90mm) for -17 stem such as the Zipp Service Course SL which should give a stem horizontal to the top tube, correct? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks! |

There are folks here versed in stem rise versus spacer equivalents so they can help you better than me for the additional spacers required to get back to an identical bar height with a -17 from what you had before with an 82 degree stem. Nice c-40, the twin seatstay c-40's IMO are the coveted c-40s. |

The result will look like this (Red is Deda -8°; Blue is Zipp -17°, which would require +15mm of spacers to place the bars at the same height as the Deda does): Last edited by cadence90; 07-28-2018 at 03:30 PM. |
