Beautiful restore paint job. But cables on top of top tube make it a no go for me. Always a battle against rust.

I won't put too much coin on what people say about you around here, m pal. Judging by the comments made on the coronavirus-related threads, you can see a wide range of opinions, values, concepts, beliefs, principles - not all good fair, and well-balanced. So, yeah...don't sweat about it, just continue to be yourself, speak your mind, I like to hear it.

I disagree. I think its important to be yourself and speak your mind but being a jerk to people and making them feel inferior is never ok.

But now back to the frame which paint job is awesome.



Also @CNY_rider - lol

I purchased a restored frame from this seller and the work on mine is excellent (see attached pic). This is one of the seller's photos; note that the rear triangle and head tube lugs are painted a gunmetal gray, not chromed. The fork was rechromed.


Pretty sure another TPL member has also seen his work or bought from him.

R3 pal, I know which post you are referring to specifically...here's my take on it. Every day every minute there are pals here who violate bigger infractions that incite hatred, bigotry, xenophobia, narcissism...sometimes in a subtle way, that went unchecked and unnoticed....those are the ones that we need to pay extra attention to and clamp down on. I understand where you are coming from but sometimes personal preference can be expressed in a strong way that borders on offensive. Plus we are living in an exceptional times, who knows what the other person might be going through so...let's cut each other some slack. I am sure m pal got your message or else he wouldn't laugh at himself as a potential Jerk.

Just know this...in all my 50 years of human existence, I have come to realize this simple truth :

The more "holy" and "right" a person insist they are, the less is true of them.

Those who are truly good and right, they never have to say an extra word...because their actions speak for themselves.

Watch for those who argue until their faces turned red and blue....stay far far away from them. Danger!

Back to our regular program.

This should be a stickie at the top of every thread.

Here is mine
A few years older than the eBay frame, and with a tidier finish to the chainstays and seatstays

A nice steel frame can be art. I never spend time looking at photos of carbon frames.
