I've seen a few of these and the colors of the chrome are all over the map. They seem to vary a lot depending on the light or maybe they just age differently? In any case, they're nice bikes.
There are some VNII decals on ebay right now and they're all gold. I seem to remember the decals on mine had some blue in them. Are yours all gold?
Sorry forgot to answer your question. I have gold decals. I am kind of disappointed that I do not have that nice elegant 'clamp' near the bb, as a cable guide, but this is a beautiful frame, which will see Simichrome soon, to polish what little rub-spots it has.
Also, any idea what the bb axle length would be? I am fairly sure that one of my old Superbe Pro's will fit.
Thanks
