I gave my old Motobecane racing bike (*) to a coworker's son, and he refurbished it and painted it with that sort of paint. It looked really cool. He is still riding that bike... Even knowing that its much older than he is.
(*) bought that bad boy in DInard, France the day that the Tour blew through town. It was the almost the same model Eddy Merckx was riding (and bleeding on) when he went through town and ultimately won the triple crown. It was an amazing bike. Rode it all over Brittany, on rides with my first girlfriend, and then carried it home to Missouri. Ah... my first awesome bike, my first love, my summer en France. Pretty awesome for newly teenaged me.
