Current Stage Info:
Ripped apart and now hanging in my bicycle shop. Lost interest in the whole Celeste green fad and the frame was just too small for me to begin with.

go to a professional and have the pantographing redone, get period correct decals too. you got all the heavy lifting done, go the distance. you won't regret it.

I bought just the frame and fork as for previous pictures I don't have any. All heavy rust spots where filled in with a metal glaze compound.

that rust sure looks like it was bad. You need some pictures of it as a complete bike!
