Hi Guys,
You've left me in a real quandary. Because of the rarity of my Malvern Star, I'm afraid to re-paint it, as by doing so I may be effectively vandalising it. On the other hand, it's extensively rusted, and I'm concerned that despite my best efforts to preserve the bike as it is, it will continue to deteriorate.
Would it be a reasonable approach to make a duplicate of the frame, and to paint the duplicate as the original (admittedly applying some amount of guesswork to fill in areas of paint that are missing from the original) would have been when it left the factory? Or would this be seen as a heinous sin?
