Picked up a nice early 50's Gillott Spear point earlier today - original paint in nice used condition....but two dents on top tube, one pretty visible. Would repairing the dent and trying to match the old paint as it is little grubby anyway be better than doing the whole hog?
Anyone with similar experience?
I have used an old stem to roll dents out - Sheldon Brown covers it IIRC. But it's gonna mess up the patina, to put it mildly. I'd just enjoy it as is !
