Id expect a couple of chips here and there anyways, ive got a bianchi minimax frame from mid 90's and didnt have perfect paint, and in learning how to fasten a chain on the bike ended up putting a couple more marks on it, oops!!, but i love it all the same, i think let the bike wear its age with pride, bikes are for riding not keeping in a museum, really more interested in originality of the bike, which sounds like its exactly what im looking for, and will make a nice addition to the stable, (along with my dawes galaxy), i aim to keep the bike original as well, im not going to be taking it apart to make a fixie out of it, as cool as those are, respect is due to this old steed. (please dont fire me!!!! i do own a fixie!!!)
