No doubt about the tubing used (after about an hour of hand sanding):View attachment 542534

Ooooooh, are you taking the whole frame back to see the colour underneath or were you just curious about the glint of orange in that chip of yellow?

I think we need some more 'before' pics. I've been hoping to see this again - it must've been in hiding for about 10 years now!

Just curious really. Nice to see traces of an original decal there. The colour underneath is closer to pink than orange as can be seen on the bar clamp. It looks orange because of the grey primer used over the top. I’ll probably do the the frame and forks as well - see what turns up!

Bit late for the stem! But I’ll take some more of the frame and forks before I attack them with sandpaper.

Colours. Yes. But need to figure out the scheme.
