Snakeskin airbrush blueberry candy paint over chrome.
Too bad all that has to go when it gets new tubes.
Not worth it. Those frames are easy to come up on.

Anything is possible, for a price. I've seen tubes replaced on brazed frames, but those lugs look damaged, putting it beyond economical repair.

a bent frame is one thing, but that one looks crumpled.
do you really expect the frame to ride nicely after bending the tubes back?
