Thanks,

Those UFO's look like very nice bikes - even fillet brazed ! I did not know of these before. (Toby is a friend of a family member of this bike's long time owner.)
- Yes for sure , Toby does great work. We were very fortunate to have him fix this Romax.

I did do the paint myself, not professional by any means but turned out pretty good.
I have painted a few bikes and a car before, but it's been a loooong time.
- Single part paint with clear coat over it. ( not the high end Endura or Imron 2 part epoxy paint that it probably had originally as this gets a bit difficult to apply )
