Hello CR,
I just bought a silver 72 Le Champion frame. It is in good shape for its age, but it does have some paint chips, scratches, etc. Looks good from about 10 feet away; and definitely looks good for having the original paint.
Do you all think that I should bother with a repaint, or just leave it alone? I have had a frame powdercoated before by Maas Bros in Livermore CA, and have been fairly happy. However, it does not look as smooth as a coat of paint, though probably more durable. I can powdercoat it or have it sprayed. If I do either of these, I need decals. Although these are fairly readily available from cyclomondo, I think it would then have to be clear coated.
What are your opinions?
While we're at it, can someone point me to a source where I could see what the original offered colors were?
