Green is my favorite color, and I'm a sucker for Nervex lugs. This would be a keeper for me as is. IMO, the condition does not warrant a repaint. Thus, I would ban you if I could. But seriously, I think there are better options instead of repainting. Lots of peoiple would love to have an iconic frame such as yours in, as far as I can tell, excellent condition. A trade or perhaps even posting in the "this frame doesn't fit" thread seems like a better (not to mention more economical) idea.

Plus, repechage makes as good point as usual. The saddle does look too far forward to me as well. It seldom makes sense to repaint a classic & vintage frame that doesn't fit you.
