OK. So far my observations are that the scooped, non panographed seatstay caps and the long, pointed and thinned headlugs make the frame appear to be of 1970's vintage.

Therefore, I deduce that some braze-ons may have been added, and the bike repainted and redecaled. It looks to me like the dt shifter braze-ons are placed too close to the headtube lug to be factory work, but I'm not sure.

Also, the decals make the bike not appear to be from the early 80's, as the seller states, but from the middle 80's. Early 80's decals didn't have the two large white panels.

Those are my observations.
