That is pretty. Did they used to paint the frame the body color?

[D90user]

I'm not sure but some of the really nice rebuilds in the UK do it... and some dont.

I personally dont care for it, plus this one seems to be a bit of a different shade in some pictures.

That was factory in 1949.

The Original Series I by James Taylor is a great reference.

The early green was not the same as the later green.
