I would recommend against painting it, though. The paint looks like it will be fine with a little touch up, and maybe some oxalic acid to get ride of the rust. Once you have it repainted the bike is no longer original, and the value will drop.
Alright, I wont paint it!
What about the saddle, it's definitely not the original. What type/brand do you recommend?
