It is all black, though. You'd have your work cut out for you a little bit cleaning and polishing/waxing the paint and applying touch-up, but I'd be optimistic (from what I've seen). I can barely straddle it, but it's probably a real smooth rider. The frame is proportioned well in that the rear wheel isn't massively far away from the seat tube, so that helps overall aesthetic. I can take some pictures tomorrow if you'd like.
Yes, please, post a couple of the pics on the thread. If it's not too badly beaten up, maybe I'll go for it. Would not need wheels sent, just the frameset. Would pay for shipping.
BTW, I find that fingernail polish works great for small dings.
