For me, in every case so far. I have quite a few older bikes, most have some scars from years of use. I'm not looking for bikes that are rusted badly or most of the paint is gone. I have cleaned up and applied new decals, and done many touchups or touchup improvements.
In the end, I'm interested in riders more than museum pieces. Cheaper, and I don't mind leaving them in a bike rack at a pub.
Some bikes I just like the color,
