I owned a very nice very early '90s DB Axis Team that I built up as a 65" geared fixie with Noodles on a 10 cm DD stem and 60 mm Big Apples. Wonderfully neutral handling bike with high bb that allowed you to lean into corners surprisingly far.
Anyway, this had a period-cool dark gray-fade-to-white paint job. I amputated all braze ons including der hangar, tt brake housing stops, and rear canti posts, and touched it up with glossy, hard-wearing Rustoleum appliance white. Very nice bike. The only problem was that I had to use a ENO eccentric hub that didn't accommodate a 2-t difference, and I buggered up the rear verticals trying to do a Sheldon with a large rat tail file. If I had that bike now, I'd have Chauncey braze in horizontals, powdercoat it white, and install Rat Trap Passes.
