Opinion needed!!!

I myself think this should stay as it is what about you guys? It's very ridable as/is

Leave it, you paint it and it looks like every other restored old bike.

Hard to from a picture, but maybe oil the chain?

It also looks like every other unrestored bike. Personally I wouldnt change it if it were mine, but thats just me.

Nice patina! ...Once the paint is sanded off and painted over, there's no goign back. i say leave it as is, and if you ever really want to paint it later, you can just do it. I think it is really classy as is and that you should probably only paint it after you've given it a LOT of thought. But as mentioned above, it is your opinion that maters. :mrgreen:

I do think that bike is screaming for some cream colored Schwalbes, though. :wink:

 

[Markm]

I'd leave it...

 

[jedidave]

my opinion, oil the chain, air the tires and ride! however it would look sweet w/ a set white walls or cream like muddywater said.

I would rather ride that Honda to the right of the bike :wink: Oh to answer your question I would leave it as is.. 8)

Ya big fan of patina bikes. LEAVE it!!!

 

[JoKeR63]

I think it's tough to find bikes that are that evenly rusted. Sometimes you'll find one that just on one side rusted or the rust is hit and miss and it just doesn't look good. Looks like this bike would be a keeper, it's kinda' what I'm looking for.
