That respray looks amazing.
As for the comments above along the lines of:
"Basically I don't believe that the public, that commuters, people that don't know about bikes in depth or whatever else you should want to call them should be exploited (over-statement I know) and that manufacturers should build good bikes at all price points, and sale assistants should give better advise. I want a better world, where bicycle owners don't pay unnecessarily down the line."
... are helpful, there's quite a closed attitude to giving this advice to the people who need it. I've been reading through this site for days trying to get some insights like in this thread but it's not always easy to find.
