the rear wheel is pretty straight, done by hand without a trueing wheel (it started life a 2 lead/ 2 trail, but spokes were a margin too long, so i added the twist, came out ace!). could replace spoke in a few mins, no biggie, could even leave tyre on if nipple was OK. you need to crank in some extra tension than normal and deep v's are strong as hell so take a fair bit of tension to pull out of shape anyway ;)
the paintjob, was buy the panel repair place next to me (N19 4NP), inc a prime and sand between coats. first frame i tried, came out ok, but yeah £30 for left over metallic (can choose what they have in the cupboard) or £50 for choice.
my mugshot, is up in a previous post with my other bikes, this was an updated ;)
