I've been in a similar situation where I bought a used frame that was damaged in shipping. I never thought once of returning it even though it required the work of a frame builder. It was a perfect fitting bike, and it was at-hand..... why would I return it ? Fix it and ride it baby ! I wasn't going to let a damaged dropout stop that.
Paint scrapes on an otherwise intact bike , The disappointment or whatever emotion that arises, passes like water under the bridge.... look ! ... there it went ! When I was kid during summer my head seemed to have an affinity for rocks, hose ends, hockey sticks, and anything else that could fly through the air. ER visits requiring stitches were no big deal. ((( shrugs ))) yeah .... so what ? Is that all there is to a few stitches ? ((( laughing ))) Really ? They give me a band-aid to cover the boo-boo and I was back to playing, as what is One's nature but to Play ? It's the most natural thing in the world . So play ! Like that Peggy Lee song ..... *Is That All There Is ? * *If that's all there is .... (to this, that and the other so called wrongs of the world) ..... then let's keep dancing ......* Testors paint, from my experience, will offer that vibrant, deep richness of that Orange paint. I've used nail polish but while the bottles looked so promising, in practice it just didn't have that depth the Testors does, at least the nail polish I tried. There's so many .... sheesh..... it makes your head spin. Maybe some brands offer better depth. Back in the day, one winter, I was feeling creative and hand painted some of the lugs orange on my Silver '83 Stumpjumpet with Testors and yes, that stuff is tough, and richly toned. Just painted right over the silver and they were a nice bold Orange with no see through ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
