Wondering what you all think.My old GT Performer, bought by myself (well parents) back in 84. I've given it a clean up and was trying to decide whether to re-chrome it or leave as original finish and just re-sticker it. Quite like the idea of original finish mesel but welcome to all suggestions!

check out my GT pro in mus - I would never change the decals on that and they rough in places... ;)

Leave it as it is mate , that will build into one nice survivor 8)
Great to have your original bike from 84 aswell :daumenhoch:
Start an ongoing thread on the full resto ;)
-
Very nice , leave as is . I might be tempted maybe to do the head & seat tube decals only but that'd be it ;)
-
Yep, I echo all the above. Leave as is and get her built up. Take pics as you go and post in Resto section as Jonathan (norty 40) suggested.
Good luck with the build. :daumenhoch:

Deffo leave it well alone - that is a thing of beauty, and if it's your original bike, it will be priceless to you :daumenhoch:

Especially with it being your original bike - looks like a VERY nice condition survivor :)
Just give it a good clean & polish and put the re-chrome & decal money towards some nice tasty parts :smitten:
