Beautiful!
When communicating with the seller I also was skeptical of the paint being original. After seeing photos of the 531 decal and the Olympic Rings decal, I felt a little better. Bikerider007 also went to look at the bike and felt that the paint was original, so I felt comfortable prior to buy it.
Oh... and thanks for not wanting to torch it!
