I ended up moving the frame along to a friend who was more appropriately sized. I think he ended up cleaning it up and leaving the original paint, but I could be wrong.
I'd be interested to see yours, though, if you have some photos.
It's my understanding that these bikes were cutom made in Belgium by a former Tour de France rider, but I haven't been able to find any details about that. I'm guessing I might get a little further if I could read French.
If you want to PM me your email I'll send some pics.
