This is another reason I have two Capos. Capo #1 has been repainted in a modern deep BMW-like metallic red, which I preferred over the original candy apple, and the crank, pedals, and derailleurs have been updated and upgraded. Capo #2 has original decals and chrome on the lugs, forks and stays and mostly-original white paint, although the head tube's contrasting red enamel is irreparably flaking off. It also has mostly-original components, with the slight cheat of a 14-26 ultra-6 SunTour freewheel replacing the original 14-22 5-speed Caimi. I have also downsized the original 52-48 half-step to my favorite, 49-46.
