So I've got a Bates BAR frame and diadrant forks which I feel quite sorry for! Initially when I got it, the previous owner had sprayed it themselves (terrible job) so I'd decided to get it redone, unfortunately the person I asked to do it also didn't do a perfect job.
It was acid dipped and painted black but not completed, not sure why but they genuinely fell seriously ill so not in a position to take it back.
My question is, is it worth paying someone to re do it again, after all the frame is sound, or is it time to let it go, has it lost all chance of any value?
I had initially wanted to try and build it it back to original spec but finances won't allow, so an alternative option was to make it into a single speed (sacrilgious I know!).
Any thoughts appreciated!
