Hi Peter,
I don't know what i'm gonna do with the bike, i think i'm gonna change him in a Atala granprix. Iriginally the bike was light metallic blue with a chrome forkcrown and some bandizoil decals with a strange 70s design. The frame is pretty heavy if you compare it with bike's with Columbus or Reynolds tubing. The equipment is also not original i collected it together just to make the bike look better. Originally it was equipped with campy gransport and weinman rimms with normandy competition hubs 3ttt steer en stem and an ugly ofmega crankset.
Does the frame look like your Atala (proportions, pads and fork)? I can send you some details! which do you preferer to compare the frames.
Yes i painted it myself and also put the modern decals on it which i ripped from their website. It rides pretty good, its a long frame and very stable, but heavy.
