Finally riding a big boys bike
I picked up this '69 (I think) Apple Krate a couple of days ago.
Here is a closeup of the chain guard. As you can see there is no paint left on the guard. What do people advise to do in this situation? Can the guard be properly painted and re-silk screened or decaled? Is there someone or a business that does this? Better to leave it as-is? For context, the paint on the bike has many chips. Chrome is cleaning up nice. Obviously missing the original seat/pogo sissy. I've purchased reproductions of both to make the bike "complete." Just wondering what to do with the chain guard.
