Restore or leave as is?

MartyC:
I have had my Pattersom Pro Long for a few years now, it has previously had a repair which is not too bad but It was not really done in a way that blends in and the frame was never rechromed. I have struggled to find anyone over here in Perth, Australia that will tidy up the repair in fact only one place and they were not too interested.  I have a friend back in the UK who is awesome at this type of repair but don't really want the hassle of sending it there and back and the same with the bike repairers in the eastern states.

So my question is, should I clean up and polish the frame and forks, apply the new decals I have and leave the repair and the bits of chrome peel as it is, in survivor mode and build it up?

Don't sound like you've got much choice Marty.  :LolLolLolLol:
Survivor it is then.  :daumenhoch:

MartyC:
Even the wife thinks leaving the repair as it is and building it up is the way to go, so I will probably do that and get it done over the next few months

Let's have a look at it Marty.  :daumenhoch:
