About 15 years ago, this '40 CW Western Flyer was the first bike that picked this up when I got back into collecting after about a 20 year hiatus. I always liked the army green, because I figured the girl who owned it had it painted this way during the war. Yes, I know there is that history, and if the wheels were painted to match at the same time, I'd probably leave it green, But they weren't. Long story short, curiosity has gotten the better of me, and I do know the original paint is probably not the greatest, but I'm thinking that I would like to bring it back as best I can. Also, there was no chainguard when I purchased the bike and I do have one that is the same color as the original blue.
What are your thoughts on removing the green that was probably done during the war?
