Dirt Disciple
Hello, long time lurker, first time poster here.
I have had from new the above bike. Its been used lots inbetween periods of idleness due to new bikes, my lazyness ETC. Its been rebuilt a couple of times over the years and now after 2 years hanging in the garage after use as a commuter i have stripped it again.
My main issue is the rust that has appeared. Obviously the bikes a keeper after all this time so i was thinking of a full respray but will i be able to replace the decals etc? I dont want the bike to look like a fake Specialized so should i touch up the rust and embrace the patina?
Thanks in advance for your input.
