Guzzi John,
I like the "been around awhile" look on a bike. I have less respect =
for a bike that looks showroom condition. Sort of like going to a =
hardware store; would you rather talk to a fresh faced high school kid =
that works there or the grey haired old guy that's been around? Get it? =
Best, Bob Hawkes=20

Fellow loopers, (kinda sounds like a disease)
I have decided that my 28 year old, 149,000 mile eldo is going to need =
a good clean up. I would really like to repaint it and re-chrome the =
tank panels but I know that it will be an impossibility from a =
affordability standpoint. To me the chrome tank panels are one of the =
most defining features on a loopframe, but the prices that I have been =
quoted are waaaaaaaay out of my price range so I must decide to paint =
the tank and fenders a solid color or leave them as is, which is a bit =
repugnant after seeing some beautifully restored loopframe bikes. My =
questions are, what are the purposes, other than looks, for the chromed =
tank panels? And, should one paint the tank a solid color or not, and if =
not, then why? The last option is, should I leave it be and allow it's =
weathered look to be considered character?
Just curious of everyones opinion.
