AND ummm, is there a picture of the whole bike? Drive side please.
Thanks for the tip, I tried flat screwdriver and it didn't get anywhere but the stainless steel wire brush worked. It seemed like the paint was chipping off as you can see still see that area. I only attempted to brush one side since it was the worse one looking. Let me know what you see, also I uploaded the picture of whole bike, also I know I shouldn't be putting the bike upside down but I wanted to take a picture of the head tube




same side as ^ but another perspective

2nd leg of the fork, which looks fine to me
