Picked up Bob tonight, my velodrome project for the winter. The paint on the rear, mostly the seat stays, was very bubbled and came off with a thumb nail scratch. Quite a bit of water was sitting under the paint but couldn't have been there for long as the metal underneath was mostly still shiny and no major corrosion.
Now to decide whether to rattlecan the rear with as close a match blue (masking off the chrome dropouts and ends of the stays), or just rub with a wire brush to get the last of the loose paint off and clear coat leaving it looking quite ratty.
