I'll try to keep this as short as possible - buddy of mine up in GA picked up a Zipp 2001 complete bike - not all original but close enough. He thought the paint job on it was not the original since it had Zipp and Oakley stickers that weren't original, so tried to strip the crappy paint off... long story short, it didn't work out very well. So he offered me a "deal" on the frameset and I am not sure if this is beyond hope based on how deep he took the paint off. He got quite a bit done on the one side before stopping - the last pic shows some of the paint that didn't get touched. (The opposite side of the frame has some paint missing where it looks like he removed the stickers but is otherwise intact).

Hoping there are some experts out there who can help me decide if it's worth having redone or if it's now parts and wall art. I just couldn't bear to have it get tossed or put in an attic somewhere... I don't wanna say how much I paid to save it but all insights are welcomed...
