Trying to decide on paint for my 1970ish Bottecchia, should I go with red and white: http://http://www.flickr.com/photos/58979471@N02/6668024425/

Or pure silver?

Is a new paint really necessary? It looks in good condition for a frame of this vintage. But yes I would go red and white, it looks awesome as is. And keep the chrome! :)

This pic isn't my frame, so it needed to be sanded down the repainted, but it looks good in silver too

Show us your bike, the one you have linked to is from the late '80s or early '90s.

Always loved the red and white Bottecchias...so that's my vote.

Yes red and white for that bike. Absolutely. Paint another bike silver.
