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)
