In the short term I wouldn't mind doing some simple touching up, though I may just wrap the top tube in camo bar tape and put some stickers on the seat tube area.

Presently I don't know if I'm going to keep it as is since I live in NYC having it look beat will make it of less interest to a thieve though part of me may end up giving it a full restore. I think what I do will be determined by just how well the frame actually fits me.
