Happy to find some original paint under the red.

Got it together as a rider for now.

You really get a different perspective on the bike without the tank. Very cool frame!!!

Thanks guys.

The red came off really easy only to reveal about 50% of the cream color underneath. Looks like it had been sanded pretty good before the red went on. Do you guys think whats left is original paint?

I looks original to me. Cant wait to see it finished

A quick side note, I see that on your park tool stand you have the side with the crank that closes the clamp on the left side. I always keep mine on the right as you have more space to turn it because it clears the frame and I find it easier to hold the bike with my left hand and turn the crank with my right. I guarantee having the clamp crank on the right is way easier.

Yeah, I flip it depending on what I'm doing or what's going into the stand.
