Gave the frame a really good clean and got all the decals off. There are patches where the lacquer has come off the paint though so I'm thinking of getting a can of halfords lacquer and just giving it a once over. To be honest I thought about just painting the thing matt black but then I think that you all might have it right telling me to leave the paint as it is!
What are people's thoughts on the bars that came on the bike? I'm thinking I might use them and install tt style brakes in the ends and retape them. I'm not looking to make a time trial bike but if I could make it more easy for me to get into an aero position on this then at least it's something different to my normal road bike.
