Thanks guys! I wonder how just the gray undercoat with some 3m film would look? The decals are pretty much done for any way. I think there is one complete diamand shaped sticker left and all the others have peeled partially.
Oddly, My other frame is also a 98 and BBO and the paint hasnt flaked off at all. Me thinks the BB paint had many issues.
Im interested as well
Its a 17 inch frame. It turns out the seat tube had been overtightened. I used bikeric’s method and it worked great.
Got it fixed! Thanks! I used a Compression plug to widen the seat tube at the top just a tiny bit at a time.
I will indeed post picture when the sun comes out again and I can get a one of the two frames side by side.
