Old Goat with new California Yuppie paint

[Carsten]

Very nice. Have an old goat frame needing some new paint, that has me thinking. Do you have contact details for Russ, would be good to get an idea on price to see if it's worthwhile.

prices listed here are a good orientation. add around $150 for paint prep

i think there's very little risk that the owner will ride it

cheers, carsten

It should be hung on a wall with that paintjob like that.

Absolutely stunning

yes, that's a pump peg waiting for the painted to match Silca pump...
the pump head is shaped in a way that it safely sits in the joint of top and head tube (or any other tube joint). do you guys really don't know these pumps? they were the norm 15 and more years ago and i still have one on my road bike...

the ones i've seen/used always had a contoured end each end rather than using a peg.

the handle on the silca is shaped too to fit "around" the tube. the peg is just an additional way to fix it in place. i was just worried that i am old now
