Purchased from the forum.
The frame had some bubbling round the base of the ds seat stay (declared in the advert), and there was a bit of loose material that could be heard moving around if the frame was turned over, so the decision was made to replace the seat stays.
This allowed the colour change from pink to red. I could have tried to get as close as possible a match on the existing paint but felt that it wasn't a problem going with something a little different. The rest of the frame was kept as close as possible to the original. Argos did the work and I'm delighted with it.
Almost all of the original decals were available, and the rest of the paint effects were recreated as close to the original as possible. The seat stays had been engraved with the DANCELLI script, but on examination of the removed tubes it was apparent that a slightly heavier gauge had been used to allow this and so the lettering was recreated with a decal.
For a 25(?) year old frame the overall condition was great but the couple of small dings present were filled.
Here are a couple of photo of the frame after repaint.
