Sounds like a big old vote of no confidence in road2track. might try for this instead http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220245459780I like the chrome though not sure about the paint job.There don't seem to be that many frames for the shorter feller kicking about.

^ I don't know why, but I think the [FONT=Verdana]Holdsworth is no going to finish cheap[/FONT]

They're both nice frames, and that Holdsworth is a beaut, but the blood of puppies past will be on your hands! Which means it'll probably go for £££s.

I reckon the Viking will be much more cheaper option, and still a nice bike.

viking are not bad bikes, nor the best, for a conversion if you can get the frame for £50 £60, I think is perfect,check this pager for a bit of history

I have a friend that have the same frame converted, he love it because is the bike his dad bought him 25 years ago.
If the frame is not dent, or not too much rust everywhere, it should be fine. this kind of steel frame are timeless

Being aware of puppy killing sentimentalities (though not fully understanding the metaphor) is there a way of re colouring/painting a frame in a semi permanent way without destroying the historically important original.

it doesn't destroy it, it just hides the provenance. i suggest you take pictures of the frame, then if you want to get it properly, i.e. expensively enamelled in the original scheme, you still can.

You can get hold of the coloured plastic that vinyl signwrighters use and could cover tubes etc with that, but it won't go over the lugs without creasing and looking rubbish. Alternatively cover the frame in clingfilm before you powdercoat it :-)
