From *** the pictures are (intentionally?) murky and obfuscatory, but that looks a lot like a suntour Vx rear der., and possibly similar for the front (or early cyclone?), diacompe 500-ish brakes, and 'rino' doesn't really convey usuful info about the 'panto' components, and more than 'schwinn approved' did (unless you consider a huret alvit to be the epitome of good engineering). does the seller even know the difference zw. 700c and tubulars?? I'm not convinced that it would have even been worth the asking price when it was new (late 70's/early 80's) -- ever seen a CCM with 531?? weird doesn't translate to worthwhile.

...and speaking of 'imported' framebuilders, have you heard the one about 'cramerotti'???...

stop by their booth and ask them about their 'racing heritage'. ...*snort*

see ya at interbike (maybe)
