It's not real visible, but I think you can see how the decal on that '82 is starting to peel back. Sounds like yours is clearcoated. On my 1987 560 EX it's definitely clear coated. Fwiw.
That's a good price for that frame.
I'm sure my 85 is clear coated. I'm going to strip this bike down for a repaint. BTW, mswantak at Velographics makes top of the line decals. I have a set of these for the Trek and am highly pleased with the quality. Thanks Mike!
