This apparently is what a mint condition one of these looks like. These bikes are essentially worthless on the market, and of no special note, so I am thinking I will strip it down and repaint it a new color, so I can chalk up "repainted a bike" on the experience list. I imagine it's not far off from repainting a ham radio case. The main issue here is properly stripping 1970's paint (leaded) off... Probably will take everything apart, derust it, and then Citru-strip the paint... repaint the frame, and then reassemble while the rest is sitting in rust remover. The other question is what (free) spraypaint I have and what color it is. I am tempted (as usual) to paint it a bright color, but also have seen some neat two-tone painted bikes on YouTube. #pondering #BIkeProject #BikeRestoration
