Look Ma, No Hands!
There is a 1969 Kool Lemon Fastback 5 Speed for sale up in Canada for $1,500 ($1,200 USD) that looks to be a H36-9 model. Produced in May 1969 according to the owner. Bike was originally from California I have been told.
I am interested in the bike (although it is two provinces away). It is being advertised as all original and to the untrained eye, looks to be.
There is one area where there is paint missing where it looks to to be red primer or rusty coloured primer underneath the yellow paint. Is this the norm for factory painted Kool Lemon?
There is also a close up of the seat post tube decal which looks discoloured. I have not seen yellow Sringrays in person, so I am not aware if this is the normal look of a faded original water transfer decal.
Any insight and opinions regarding the original paint status and the current asking price of this bike would be much appreciated.
