  • The money you would spend on a pro-respray would be far better tucked away for a frame upgrade. Nothing wrong with a caad8, having ridden one for a few years myself, but it's not worth investing in. Thrash it and upgrade to a 10 down the line, and maybe strip and polish it over winter as suggested above if you can't live with the current paint

  • @BareNecessities and @mrJL i don't mind the idea of it being stripped. I finish come friday so it would be good to learn about road bikes more. I have been tempted to go for the 10 or possibly even a supersix? The more i think about it the more I'm liking the idea of it stripped down.

  • I'd rattle can it hulk-green or something. Stripping the fork is going to be a massive ball-ache anyway.

  • Polished would be ace; if you're hanging about Norwich for the summer I'll be around if you need a hand with anything
