Can you be a little more specific as to aspects of the frame you
find debatable? I see a heavy amount of clear coat, which detracts
from the file work on the lugs and seat stays but beyond that It's very tasteful (in my humble opinion). It might be a bit glossy.

I found this paint-job debatable in some key ways. Definitely debatable on a period restoration, and also, really debatable on KOF frames of today. I see many KOF frames with paint like this, and I remain unconvinced.
Have a look, and see what you think.
I'm posting this not to start an argument, so much as raise awareness of the issues that should be addressed when repainting any high-end period frame. Or any frame, for that matter.
