"Steel is real".
Be forewarned. I posted awhile back about painting a thoroughly trashed '85 Raleigh Grand Prix with a 1971 Grand Prix paint scheme and decals as a tribute to my first adult bike, a 1971 Grand Prix. I loved the paint and graphics but let's be honest, those old GP's left a lot to be desired. I was basically accused of deception and potential fraud by more than one member here as I would be representing it as something it wasn't. Yeah, disguising a nice quality bike as an older far lower quality bike with the same name is clearly a devious plot. No one would ever suspect there was a better bike hiding under that metallic red paint.
Nobody was upset about me potentially "devaluing" the higher end '85 though.
