The frame alignment is straight with no dents and bents. Cosmetically the original paint and graphics are in pretty good condition considering that age. A number of scuffs from normal,
(too many to list individually but notably on the right chain stay, left seat stay, and along the top tube).
Over all I’d rate the original paint and graphic about an 8½  out of 10, please see pictures.
