After my Rambouillet's brake bridge broke loose and I had it repaired locally, I investigated respray of the sparkly candy orange and cream color scheme with the same ($1200-ish) response. Having had the bike since new, replacing the drive side dropout and then rebrazing the brake bridge I thought I'd aim that sum toward a down payment on a new frame. There's still enough of the Joe Bell finish to amaze and it has projected Grant's "beausage" to my "beausavage".
