Hi JusCos, I didn't make any decision so the party is not over yet. ;-) Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it! You're right about the respray, I recently sold my “modern” bike (CAAD 10), only keeping my steel ones. After I noticed I practically didn’t went out cycling anymore when raining, I got myself a beater-like aluminium bike again. ;-) Respraying makes the fear for water and dirt only worse.
This weekend I will try to get the BB out of the frame so I can remove the rust-chips that are inside the tubes (you can hear them when shaking the frameset) and spray tons of WD40 in it.
