If you have still got it Argos Cycles do tube replacements and will make the paint look good as new after!
It's being fixed by Mario Vaz's builder at the moment... it's actually been with him for a while, but I'm not in a hurry so it's OK... Tube replacement was quite cheap, I would not have done it otherwise, the frame is not necessarely "special" although I love it and think it's lovely. I'm only getting a base primer on the repair, and will do the "redecoration" myself to save cost... This will not appear in porn though!!
Coming back to my first question, can skidding and skid stopping be an aggravation for the fatigue of a frame?
