    Grease, how old is too old?

    Why worry when you can do a quick re-grease of hubs, bottom bracket and headset. As Shawn said they tended to use a minimal amount of grease with the repo bikes. How they sound is not a good way to evauluate adequate lube. It's fun to get your hands a little greasy, although I use nitrile exam...

    accurate Stingray top tube decals

    I would stick with decals. Printing an accurate water transfer could be done if you can come up with the right art work.

    This may be too much of a personal question to ask

    For this group, I would think 2 - 6 figures covers the range with some exceptions on both ends. The potential and realized monetary value is always a moving target and actual disclosure could invite unwanted interest. Of course "value" is open to interpretation.
