there have been several threads about wether to paint or not. i have found a perfect example of a repaint project. this is something that i love to do as a hobby. in my opinion i got a nice deal on this off of ebay and a local pickup so no shipping charges. its complete with decent parts. it needs a saddle, bar wrap,tires and cables. and of corse paint and decals. i already have most the parts, decals are available and all the work will be done by myself, so i think this is going to be a rather cheap project for in my opinion a nice riding bike when finished. i will put this restoration in a thread for people contemplating on a repaint project. opinions and questions are encouraged.pics are from the ebay ad. picking up the bike tomorrow morning so better pics will be posted.for the curious ones, which i dont mind telling, i paid $150.
