Hey, that's the same color as my 912, except that mine has a pearlescent pink head tube. I bought it as a bare frame a couple of years ago and built it up with mostly Suntour Cyclone parts instead of the original Shimano 600. I've got a triple on mine, too. It's a great ride. Enjoy yours and don't be in too much of a hurry to paint it. I kind of regret both of the bike repaints I've had done even though they came out well--after you scratch the new paint a few times you start thinking "hell, I might just as well have left it with the ORIGINAL scratches."
