And a picture of the frame stripped, ready for inspection and cleaning...



Luckily the rust damage on the frame wasn't bad at all, so just a few touch ups are all that's needed. The fork needs a re-paint for sure, and the rust got to the dropouts pretty bad. I'm trying to decide if I should go black, purple, or blue to purple fade. I am leaning towards straight purple to match the rear triangle...

Make sure you keep the bullhorns!

I'd go blue for the fork as the front bit of the frame.

One leg blue, one leg purple.

Re:

That's what I was thinking RockiMtn. Im just worried that it might be a little too 'cute'...
