Mon Dieu! Then the original paint job is toast and the value of the

A sloppy coat of paint does that, and reduces tea-leaf attention. At one
stage I was forced to use some gifted taiwanesse cheap clunker which I
fitted with a good drive chain until the spare cash allowed me to buy a
very good GP frame. Had the bike shop braze on water bottle mounts and
said I'd do the painting, which i just slapped on awfully.

Bike shop guy was horrified, but as I pointed out, the average tea leaf
would have a similar reaction and not look closely at the drive chainand
other stuff and thus turn their attentin elsewhere. rode that bike for
decades.


That's what one guy, Andreas Borutta, in a German NG recommends. So some
call their munged bikes "boruttized".

Due to terrain my bikes are usually terribly dirty which reduces their
attractiveness somewhat. A thief would likely pick that pretty
spit-shined Sacttante over my mud-splattered 1982 road bike. Also, I bet
most wouldn't know how to operate downtube friction shifters and before
locking outside I shift it to the highest gear.
