Usually they are orange, blue or white. Red colour and absence of transfers may indicate a respray. You may discover traces of original colour on steerer or in shell or in seat tube.

Fitment of incorrect dropout adjusters an oddity.

Remember, shell will be metric threaded whilst steerer BSC.

Oh, it's definitely resprayed, faded red. Jim indicated to me that at the end of each season they would break down their training bikes, clean, replace worn parts, and repaint the bikes to rid the rust caused by sweat.

So both are the same color, but neither an original color.
