Original or fresh.....

Out of interest what do you consider more desirable ? Original finish and decals or fresh chrome/paint.

Yes it depends on condition etc but I'd much rather have original finish over something freshly done.  I know plenty of folk still want their bikes to be perfect in every way which is great and they look awesome when built too, but I'm seeing a shift in what people are hunting for and could original finish be the next phase of building ?  :)
I hope it is  :4_17_5:

Was just about to start a similar thread about survivors. For me as nice as it is to see a pristine well restored example i think people are far too quick to go down that route.  :yahoo_silent:
I love survivors and its the reason my decade never got the full treatment  :smitten:

....and dont get me started on the dreaded white powder coating scurge!  :knuppel2:

Original , I've done bling and shiny , new paint and perfect .

 But I like the more original look now ..  :daumenhoch:
My Squareback was a prime example .
