Whyte Bike purchase...is this insane?

tyke1973

I have recently purchased a Whyte PRST1-1, everything is cool about it except the colour.
I'm dying to give it a 2 oe 3 tone paint job which I am capable of.
Would I be able to get the original decals? (its a 2002 model), or would i be commiting retrobike sacrilige?

Thanks in advance

Buying it was the insane thing, anything else you do is totally irrelevant.

If you want to then do it. Painting an early-90s Klein would be sacrilege and would destroy it's value. Not an issue with a PRST-1.

The PRST-1 makes Pierre Michaux spin in his grave.
