    I f it were me I would leave it just the way it is, scratches in the paint and different colored areas and all. I love the "distressed" look and I love having the ORIGINAL decals on there, etc.
    But....I know you are going to repaint it anyway. So if it's got to be stripped, then I vote to try to make it all look like it was when brand new- the original orange and decal styles.

    THANKS TREK!


    Thanks for checking in on the bike and for the pict!

    Already told Chris to go ahead and do the paint job vs the powder coat.

    I've sorta been eyeing the soma smoothie es.. have you seen their new lug version of their bikes? they call 'em delancey's

    right now i'm waiting for the decal guy to firm up his proofs, get 'em printed and then send them along to Chris.

    Hey, R'dog. Chris Robinson's done painting my bike (well, technically he doesn't paint it, someone else does) now it's your turn.

    I hear it's being decided which way the decals go? Up, down, sideways

    R'dog, I dropped in at the LBS and happened to see this Looking good. Riders there where posting bets how you'll build it up. Cross? Road bike? Mountain bike?
