There is a small dent just above the lower head lug, which also has paint flaked off the chrome underneath. Blue tape on seat tube covered a lot of bare steel, but no dents or damage other than surface rust as far as I can see. Seat post came out ok, and it's not a Super Record, but a fully fluted NR, and is in OK shape, but not perfect. And at the Westminster swap meet I grabbed a pair of HF Recurd wheels that will do nicely.
At this point I'll Get it straightened, and remove paint/rust enough to identify any issues. It will be a repaint, assuming it checks out with no serious issues. I needed a winter project, so very much enjoying the tear-down and cleaning up the parts.
