My manager, Dan at Durst Cycle, who was the best mechanic/man you could imagine, used to cut me off saying "Chris, it's a repair, not a restoration". He was good at wheeling in my obsessive compulsive need to fix everything on a bike and just fix what they asked for.

Shout out to Arts bike shop on Cermack ave. Good man. Good to us local kids.
I feel this. I have a carefully built 1973 Raleigh Carlton Super Course townie, and the *only* “modern” black finish is on the Brooks Flyer springs. Cherish those plated springs!
