Yep looks white--well originally was white! Keep in mind "super rare" don't = "super valuable". Missing the headlight ($$) and can't tell much else form that small pic. V/r Shawn

Oxalic Acid Bath.

When you disassemble for service check the hidden areas like the fork neck, the inside of the bottom crank, behind the badge and any place where are parts joined by bolts!!! Good luck

I got out to look at it today it’s rusty so this will prolly b my first attempt at a oa bath here are some photos I got from the ad I bought it from

I can tell that’s white without an OA bath. It oxidizes with a far different look than any other color. What a find!

Does anyone know the total count now since this one is found? 30 something?

I don't think it has reached that many known yet. I'm thinking less than 20, I lost track.

Would u oa bath it or just leave it?
