It looks very original, including the saddle. I don't know whether the paint scheme was an alternative to the main red/white or a mid-year model, stepping towards the fluorescent colours of the 90s.
Awesome! That's the model I presume mine was before the modification. It would be interesting to compare serials and whether yours has Gipiemme dropout forks - from the photo it looks like yours might have eyelets unlike mine.
Please post details once you have it!
Dark Zolatone + Afterburner stays = 1991 model I think. Eldridge was neon red and Pine Mountain neon orange, so is it possible yours is a neon red that has lightened over time?
