As an example if I was re-painting my later model Pinarello , but decided I wanted to use vintage Pinarello decals - its my bike - I'm just making it more pleasing to my eye, collector value be darned

Would definitely draw the line at anything close to mis-representing the bike though . As in, I wouldn't put a Brain or NEuron decal on a bike with an unknown tube set
