Frame has been well used over the past couple years (club runs, roubaix sportive, a few audaxes). The finish held up fine but probably needs redo-ing in a few places after bikepacking bags have rubbed the frame. Not been used much the past couple months as she got a new (carbon) all road bike but the general consensus was that it was a blast to ride. It really is a good frame.
Still looking pretty good in that photo got to say, nice to hear it's been well used too. I stumbled on this thread as recently bought a Gran Fondo (v3) and was considering getting the frame blasted, but then saw the success you had with the 3M pads.
