Thanks for the input! I´ve started hunting for a SOMEC panto fork on Ebay. I'm wondering if it's NOS as I cant find any signs of threads in the head tube, and there should be for this time (as I'm guessing that thread-less wasn't an option at the time?).
Also the details on that Air...

Thats a great shout to that guy selling Pantod stuff, his prices are pretty decent. Makes me think that Somec must not charge a great deal for this kind of work as i "vintage" pantod stuff goes for crazy prices

Hello and congrats, its a nice frame. Usually these were mono-coloed in red, burgundy, blue (both light metallic and dark non-met), yellow. The fork is indeed a candidate for being non-orig for its shape, but you can never know, however yours is not the cheapo model, but SL. The Falck tubed ones had no panto forks, but the looked the same as the panto ones. I have the same frame but with panto seat stay caps it was red until it reached the current state like yours and the decals were the old-school yellow ones with thin edges, pure text, no "Adidas" stripes, pixels, coat of arms. Since you paint it white and fade, pixel is one way to go, or "Adidas", like this Air on ebay:
Also at least these striped decals are available, while the older "pure squares" are not that easy to find.
