Yup. My wife's fave ride is her 1981 with bags and bags of miles on it. I've considered refinishing it for her, but the chrome is (typical Italian 1970s-1980s) junk, and the QC on the brazework, is well, to be charitable, very poor (and the BB shell is brazed slightly out-of-plane!), so it would probably cost $1000 in paint, chrome, QC work, and decals to make the frameset be worth $350 afterwards (and the BB shell would still be crooked). I still might do it at some point, though, since I almost can't get her to ride anything else!
