I have an NOS Jack Taylor frame, that has never been painted.

It was built in 1990, covered in a primer coat by the Taylors and then put into storage when the factory closed.

It's now in my possession. I'm having it painted.

This may sound like a silly question, but I thought it would focus the philosophers.

When I have it built up, should it be a 1990 bicycle? Or a 2009 bicycle?
