Deffo leave as is. Build and ride (if you can get over the 'droopy cock'-like rear wishbone  ;D )

Cheers for the replies.
I thought that would be best,
it has few knocks here and there but I didn't want to remove the stickers,

I rode a Kris Bennett back in the day, and apart from being heavy (like most bikes in that era) it rode awesome. It had a long front end and super short back end which was very innovative for its time. Keep it as is
