Dear Listmembers,
Some time ago we had a disussion here on painting frames versus
powdercoating. There was general consensus that powdercoating takes away
a lot of the details in lugs and engraved parts. Look at this auction on
german ebay and you will find a perfect example for that. A restored
Eddy merckx frame in molteni finish obviously powdered (although the
seller does not state this specifically). Check out the seat stay caps
and the fork head for the effect of too thick paint......

Front changer braze on and top mounted shifter boss indicates being built in the early eighties. BTW it looks like the seller used one of Listmember Greg Softley's sticker sets...
