A few years back I was in Witcombs to see what they thought of an old Holdsworth I had.
What ensued next was this big discussion between old I'm guessing Ernie and a couple of other old fella's. One was dead against destroying original paint and preffered gentle renovation and another said 'hey, if you're going to love this old frame and more importantly ride it then if you repaint it is neither here nor there.
I guess if its a super rare frame then 'gentle restoration' is best but other less important frames..? Well you've gotta like the way it looks..
