They were good enough to get me my first bike on the pages of the CR web site:

My MKM was repainted this October by Franklin. Total bill was about $450, which included single color spray, clear coat, lug lining (simple lugs), some braze on bits and spreading the rear triangle from 120mm to 126. The paint was 4 times what I had in the frame, and I'll never get the money back if I sell it, but it's pleasing to my eyes. Haven't chipped or scratched the paint yet, but there hasn't been much good riding weather.
My wife had a bike displayed on the CR site before I did; the little white Mondia. Drove me nuts. Thanks, Dale, for being charitable and putting my MKM up.
