So I picked up a 60's CB track/path frame with what looks like the original paint. It has lots of little chips on the rear triangle where the chain must has jumped of over the years. There is no rust.
Now, I've been told that under no circumstances should I have it refinished.
If I never ride the bike in the wet then I guess I could leave it as is but it just doesn't look good.
If I T-cut the frame am I meant to miss the decals..?
Does anyone think it is ok to refinish as long as you stick to the original scheme..?
Bit stuck here, help...!
