personally if it wasw mine and i really like it btw. i would get the decals well masked up and get the rest repainted
if this wasnt possible then i would leave as is. if the decals are original and decent condition they have to stay imo

very nice

thanks just had a look on the bully facebook page.......spoke to someone about a complete new decal set, so a restore might be on the cards... :)

leave it well alone - remove the suface rust with T-CUT (it does work),  this will also clean the paint,  clean out the BB and headset! 

its fantastic.. :smitten:

If you are going to ride it as your avatar suggests, just clean it up as best as possible, put some nice used but shiny, strong parts on it and ring its neck  :4_17_5:
