Faux-ing something up Mr Edwards?
Perhaps surprisingly the answer is "no", just really liking the Joe Waugh Columbus Max gate and it's certainly on the cusp of needing a respray so thought I'd see if anything particularly struck me.

Anyhow a local chap has basically everything that comes to him repsrayed by Argos. They've done some good work on the frames I've seen (Merckx, Colnago, etc.)
Argos did the work on that Tequila Sunrise Yo that you so like and agree that finish is top drawer, if pricey which leads on to.....

prices vary, expect £100 for a one colour finish, a bit more if you want the fork doing aswel, £20ish for stickers, another 20 for fitting, extra tenner for each extra colour etc.
...which are the Argos prices I paid before, or near enough. So single colour respray with decals is likely to be of the order of £140 (including buying the decals) and when frame with Record headset was only £85 you start to wonder if it makes sense as with a respray you never can realise what you've spent if you do decide to move it on (and I tend to be a bit flighty with my bikes).
Hmm, but what colour (currently white to blue fade)? Khaki perhaps?
