Sandcast is bought and I will start soon with that project.
http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,9955.0.htmlThat bike needs a frame-off restoration with new paint, seat, pipes etc. pp.
So lots of parts that will be new because they are not there or wrong.
Now the inevitable patina- question...(I know, and old and often bespoke thing)
Make everything else as new or keep the patina where ever it is possible and sensible?
E.g. the master cylinder. Just cleaned it. So whats next
Overhaul and
- leave it as it is
- paint it black
- anodize it black
Or starter cover.
a 47 old year part with lots of rust, cleaned it. Now looks like this, far from being perfect.
Whats next:
- leave it as it is
- re-crome it
- buy a new one
Thanks for any input and comments.
