So I currently ride a rescued Bridgestone 400 that I'd like to repaint/restore. I also picked up an old debernardi for a song and would like some id help... maybe someone here in this forum can drop knowledge?
1.) the bridgestone's frame. It def. used to sit in a basement somewhere and when I got it, the decals are more or less worn off and some parts show signs of surface rust. I'm sorely tempted to restore it but I have no idea if its even possible to get decals for this. I'd LOVE to restore it to its original color/etc. Is there a way to get decals for a bridgetone 400? (I think its in the mid 80's)
2.) anyone know anything about the debernardi? Its a really nice steel frame and I have a serial but beyond that, I have no clue. I'm not going to sell either of those bikes, I just want to get some idea of what I scored for cheap.
