There's a touch of wear just north of the driveside fork end, and the Rotrax decal on the seat tube has 3 little pieces missing. There's also faint paint wear on the seatstay cap's sharp edges. Aside from these mentioned there's a few marks but they are very inconsequential. It doesn't appear a front lamp or either brakes were installed post-restoration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFrame number: 52767? 57767?
