I'm considering having my vintage Schwinn Cimarron repainted from red to green...just so I can add some tan/honey Brooks accessories to it. Would that be terrible to repaint a vintage bike when the original finish is still in good shape? I like the red fine, but green would be more "me".
I don't see why not. Rivendell makes those custom steel frame bikes for folks and they take old frames and repaint them with their own stuff. That's the beauty of steel, I think!
