Before I sanded anything, I might also just give them a call at Rivendell. It's a funny place to have the paint compromised, but maybe they've seen something like that before. The only thing I noticed was that it looks reasonably asymetrical, which might be an imperfection in the paint (or the prepping) rather than an underlying issue from impact. Since the location is reasonably out of the way, it could have gone unnoticed for a while. You might also post to the framebuilder's list on bikelist.org and ask for some feedback. hope that helps, - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Get your photos posted: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "Then I sat up, wiped the water out of my eyes, and looked at my bike, and just like that I knew it was dead" -- Robert McCammon, "Boy's Life" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
