Hi Marc,
I apologize for hijacking your thread, but IMHO it's for a good cause. I like your use of the phrase "sympathetic restoration".
I was asked to be a judge this year at the Brooklyn Bike Jumble and also at Le Cirque. In both cases I was vested with the responsibility to give awards for "Best Restored".
I'd like to take a poll. Who thinks that the term "restored" means the bike has been repainted?
No debate about the relative merits please: just answer the question. Thanks.
