Love that Makino. What color is that? Looks almost like an ivory.
I prefer a slightly dinged NJS frame. I felt that if I paid more for a perfect one, I'm constantly going to worry about every new ding/dent/scratch....and I'll end up babying it too much and that first ding/deep scratch will annoy me.
When the frame already has some scars, it just takes away "it has to stay perfect" stress so you can just focus on riding/enjoying it without worry.
