Yes, especially when the example you own is as nice a survivor as that Campus Green '78. If you really want a different color (and wish to spend the money in painting one - see this recent thread), consider getting a rough example that already needs paint, and having that one painted to your heart's content.

Mind you, I get the feeling that you're not too happy with the existing Nuovo Gran Sport components on the '78 to begin with - so you'd be in the soup in terms of paint and components. That's a hefty bill.

Can I interest you in a trade for something closer to what you're looking for? Send me a PM.
