Thanks dpayne. Yep that's the original paint job and she's in great shape. Got her off da Ebay this fall. I think she was stored away in an attic for who knows how long, but at least she wasn't out in the elements! Only had some minor paint chips that some nail polish covered up.

I couldn't find much info on this series of Bridgestones either, but it's nice to see others out there being restored. I kept the little dropout screw thingees cuz someone, um, "older and wiser" than me said they add style points. Good luck with your restoration and give us more pics later!
