Hi All,
Been lurking for some time. I was just given a cool old bike, a 1942 Westfield (Columbia) Compax Sport Traveler made in 1942. The bike is Black with the head badge and top only tube painted logo, no seat tube logos, both original wing nuts intact. A lot of rust and pits over where the chrome was. Frame paint is dinged up and oxidised. I was looking for some information:
Was the chain guard painted or chromed in '42?
Where can I get a Mesinger saddle recovered?
Professional repaint or leave original.
Rechrome or leave it?
Thanks
