My Moser needs the top and downtube replacing - I need someone good who is going to do her justice in terms of a respray - there is complicated masking involved as the graphics are done in the paintwork, as well as some stickers which will need sourcing.
will only the replaced tubes need painting or will the rebrazing mess up all of the existing paint requiring a full repaint job?
Who is the best to do a job like this? I know it will be expensive, but she's worth it.

They are very good.Does it need new paint? I can't see anything in those pictures that wouldn't be fine after a few layers of wax polish, assuming you don't ride it in the wet.

it came up and i couldn't resist despite is actually being heavier than the silver chris king alu i already have fitted!!

I just fitted a Chris King Grip nut that I got off here to my 92 Klein Performance. The stem had been seized in the steerer for a long time, and when the headset gave out recently I had to cut it and remove the remains of the stem chemically.
Once I had done that and fitted a new Ti stem it is as good as new. Well that bit of it is anyway.

Quick Q:
I have a rear wheel complete with a 137mm axle (for a 126mm spaced frame).
I have put 4mm of spacers on the axle, and now it fits in my 130mm frame (designed for a 141mm axle) without over-compressing it.However, the dropouts themselves rest on only perhaps 1.5mm of the axle each. As long as I keep the QR tight, I can't see the wheel coming free..
Sheldon says this is o.k, but should I just buy a new 141 axle anyway? It's an alu frame and i don't want to bork it.

Project Rollers...
TACX overpriced rubber belt thing ordered. Tried it today with ~4mm nylon cord, despite putting a fair amount of tension on it, it just loved to slip and twist over itself working itself out of the groove. £10 spent so far can't be bad though!
Now have 3 out of required 6 bearings moving, left them soaking in some fowl machine shop release agent over the weekend, by monday they will have either released and be perfect, or will have dissolved to the bottom of the tank into a gloopy blue plastic & stainless steel blob.
As for roller on a roller concept. Found some lengths of similar alu section that will do the frame, but none quite long enough, so fish plates and bolts going to be required. For the little wheels going to turn down some 25mm HDPP plastic sheet (got stacks of it) then mount them on coach bolts into the frame, almost instant self lubricating bearings! whoop whoop whoop.

^^^ I drank too much tea/ coffee thru jan and think i've made myself permanently ill lol*
*actually its something else that they can't figure out what it is. grrrr. Like tomorrow I had prepped bike and all gear to get a good ride in the morning (last day of decent weather up here) and now feeling so bad that its completely out of the question, BAH.

You sound like a man with a plan. A man with a plan is a dangerous man. A man with a plan could do anything, until he runs out of money.
If you run out of tea but still have money, you can always send out for more tea.
-
But if you had tea but no money, you could always sell the tea...
Does this mean tea is effectively money?

tea is effectively money
That's what they mean by liquid assets.
