Maybe It's just me but I have a serious problem believing this bike was repainted by Hetchins or any other Bicycle painter. One of the big NO-NOs in frame painting is painting the cantilever bosses like has been done on this bike. Plus if Hetchins did the repaint I'm sure they would have repaired the dent in the chainstay. Don't get me wrong the bike is nice but these two things say something about Hetchins or the seller that I don't like.
