Thats unfortunate--this was actually a $15 Goodwill find, and it provided some VERY nice vintage Suntour/Sugino parts for other projects. The frame was rough when I got it, but I used a two step semi-abrasive autopolish and then shined it up with T9 chain lube and a rag (you'd be amazed how well this works) and voila--doesn't need a repaint anymore.
