Thanks again for the feedback. The frame/fork had been hanging on the wall in an old garage for a while. The paint was more of a rust color when I got my hands on it. I took some .000 steel wool and a can of WD40 to it and scuffed off the surface dirt/rust. It's hard to see in the pics, but you can still see some of the beige dart accents in the paint. I think it had a frame repair long ago as the paint has some blacken areas on the seat stays like it had been heated up. It seems sturdy and solid. Believe it or not, it really isn't that heavy.

Here is what she looked like when I found her. I pulled the skiptooth crank and chain and stashed them away just in case.
