Original Paint Elgin Bluebird

It may not affect the ride but that doesn't mean that it doesn't effect the integrity (strength) of the frame.
It would really tick me off to spend $10-$15K on a bike and ride it a couple times before the frame decides to give way.

Well, I'm guessing that someone straightened out those stays after the wreck in order to make it rideable again. Still original? What is the difference between a poorly repaired chainstay and a correctly repaired one?

Btw, I'm more curious on general perception and not trying to force a point.
