Hello,
I am new to the vintage side of bikes as I have 3 modern rides but have just bought two Scapin steel frames from mid 80's.
Both need repainting and I would like a good job but on a budget.
I know Argos in Bristol are good but seem expensive - are there any other quality alternatives that are a bit cheaper as I will having both done at same time?
On the seatpost query - One is apparantly colombus zeta and the other columbus aelle.
I understand that they are fairly low in the columbus line up if not bottom of their time.
Not worried about that but all reference points state 26.6 seatpost for both tubes and a 26.6 will not fit as slightly too big for seat tube.
Anyone have any ideas on sizing otherwise I will get it measured with some callipers?
Any help on paint job and seatpost sizing will be much appreciated.
Thanks
David
