I tend to agree with Pergolizzi about doing no harm and preserving rather than facelifting, but I just got a Dick Power track from '59. It is, to put it mildly a mess. Paint, where it remains, is all oxidized and scratched, bare patches are rusty, etc. But, and here is the rub, two of the tube decals remain almost intact, and the head tube decal is almost complete. Clean it, polish the parts, and leave it or go the whole nine yards, strip it, paint it, and hope decals can be made or found (not a likely outcome and a very expensive on at that).

I think the most important thing,something E.A. would do anyway,is to take lots of photos of those decals.Infact even if you don't touch the bike you should have those on file(and paper) for "just in case"
