Default vintage bikes

Some nice looking machines there. I thought that restoring to good running condition was called preservation. Im waffling back and forth as to whether to take my 62 completely apart and do a complete restoration. Im thinking that I really dont want a new 50 year old bike. The patina of 50 years of use seems to appeal to me. When one looks at other antiques it it considered sacriledge to refinish etc. Just get it working seems to be the mantra outside of the automotive community. Curt
