If I paint it, I'll get all neurotic about scratching the paint and then once that gets scratched up, then I'll be upset I didn't leave it alone.
I think the solution is I have to get a 2nd one that is red.

See... I could powder coat my surly red. I'm not attached to it black. Except the red flame stickers would look funny on a red bike.
Maybe I should powder coat it.

Knott's lugged steel bike cost quite a bit more than $80 or so for the powdercoating
but considering it was a complete rebuild it's like a new bike. Chris & Steve at my fave LBS lovingly cleaned every part not replaced.
The bike just glows and Knott says the shifting is buttery smooth now.Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero
