Quick potatochop..
In all honesty really glad I didn't buy the frame I was originally going to get but didn't due to the bent forks. When I received this frame I noticed a few little chips of the paint and wear on the drop-outs where wheels have been tightened with different ratios and chain tension etc and I love it. I think I would have been a little disappointed if this frame came perfect as I love that it's been 'used' for Keirin racing, same goes for the cranks etc. Seat-post does have a few marks from where it's been adjusted, I did think about stripping and highly polishing it before it arrived, but I really do love the wear on it.
My father restored vintage racing cars for a living, and I can associate it with that, nobody wants a Rally car that's not scuffed dented and scratched.
