I could be quite wrong, and one would want to check with the seller, but there are several items that struck my fancy: 1) seems to be proper 32/40 wheelset 2) note the adjustable "major taylor" stem 3) front hub seems to have the same profile as my "Harden" hub, which has a grease injection fitting and is quite lovely. 4) I wonder if the cranks are forged or splined...

But, there sure is a lot of beautiful detailing...
