Current Stage Info:

Ripped apart and now hanging in my bicycle shop. Lost interest in the whole Celeste green fad and the frame was just too small for me to begin with.

I bought just the frame and fork as for previous pictures I don't have any. All heavy rust spots where filled in with a metal glaze compound.
