Well, no. I stripped off all the original decals and went with the oldschool Schwinn decals. Kind of like what I said in the post. The overall look was much different and I thought it might inspire someone else whose bike has a butt-ugly factory color scheme.
Tires and seatpost were also changed. More has been done since. I just have a bad sense of when I've truly reached "after," I guess.
