Definitely. I cringe every time I see one of those Esge racks, as they invariably scratch the paint. It's unusual that the '68 did not come with fender holes on the dropouts, as later years added them. There are also lots of grease stains and numerous chips that need to be touched up. The red stripe on the seat tube is almost all gone, victim of a water bottle cage. All the components seem to be in good shape, though the grease has turned to varnish.
