Look Ma, No Hands!
I'm sure the question opens a whole can of worms, but let's say you have a 100 year old bike frame and you want to modify it from original. Do most people believe that if you modify it in a way that can't be undone that it's ruining the bike? That's my feeling for certain bikes, but not others. What about adding a color or finish that isn't original to a bike? Obviously the whole rat rod movement proves that cool and different things can be done with older frames that people may have otherwise discarded. So by bringing something back from the dead and modifying it from original it has life now and can be enjoyed. The other side of the coin is that you would have to be crazy to take a super rare collectible bike and weld something to it.
