That frame is beautiful, Richard - what a top job and a very reasonable price. I can see Aerocoat getting some more business as a result of your experience!
I remember seeing this customised sport-classic Ducati with grey paintwork, which went well with a nickel plated frame. It's also got those polished crankcases you like...
