Repaint Valk?
I could use some help here... I bought this Valk a long time ago now, and, finally got it running and ridding, and I thoroughly enjoy riding it. I have not ridden many bikes, and of the three bikes I have, a Flying V, and a AMP B2, it is my favorite, though, the AMP I really like too.
But, like most Valks, the chain stay/seat tube has been welded. I think I would like to get it painted, and, feel that it should be painted the original Dupont Metallic Blue, though, I secretly think about shipping it to Cycle Art and letting them have a go at it.
That all said, I know that if it gets painted, I will likely spend more time looking at it rather than riding it.
Well, now that I have written all this, I think I have decided to just protect the frame and ride it. Paint it one day, maybe, but to ride it for now. Though, I have an IRD stem that I will paint black, and the IRD fork legs too...and if I do that, I might as well paint the whole thing... dagnabbit...
A penny, and a couple used Power Bar wrappers, for your thoughts.
Thanks,
Howard
