What is the proper way to “restore” a C&V bicycle?
I am thinking about what to do with my 1973 Italian bike. Should I strip and repaint like I have seen in some beautiful photos posted by BF members?
Is it better to just clean it up and leave the old chipped and scratched paint and rust? Is that more authentic?
Is it Ok to touch up the paint to prevent more rust and make it look better without repainting?
I would like the opinions of the C&V Subforum. Thanks in advance for any advice.
