I bought this Saluki, serial #007, used in 03 or 4.  It soon became my go to ride, but after another twenty years on dirt roads the frame showed a lot of wear and tear.  I hated sacrificing the beautiful yellow decals but am thrilled by what a good color match and quality job RaceMetalSmith of White River Jct. VT did.  Next up, rebuild and a sweet ride.

very nice, especially the headtube.  The paint at the lugs looks great and not heavy.

Michael, I’ve used Race Metalsmiths for several projects and they always have done me well.
