LittleBeetle: If I had a mystery frame, I would restore the paint for protection purposes but not add decals that would mislead others. In fact, I have a Trek 610 that was modified when I picked it up and had additional modifications done. Although many of the original decals will be applied, the 610 designators will not as it is no longer a 610 as described by the specs. The SN will provide its roots but that is about all. None of the components will be replacements of what was on the spec. You could have custom decals made to your imagination.

thanks for your input.
Indeed, it is good to give a real identification rather than giving it a fake one.

gotten a suggestion from BF member to custom do the decals like such:
