I can definitely get you a clean PNG and vector image of the logo. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to make a copy of the headtube logo. I'd love to see your bike if you have pictures handy!

I'm back. I got it out of the tub after reading some of your replies. The OA did it's job very well, and the frame doesn't look bad at all with regard to rust. However, I'm at another impasse. I feel...

Before I placed the frame in, I gave it a good scrub with dish...

I think the final product will land somewhere between what you've suggested and a full restore as Wileyone suggested. Once it comes out of the bath, I'll put it under some sunlight/hit it with a heat...
