This is a bit of an odd frame. There is no indication what tubing was used, there is no sign that it was ever repainted, but it has Bridgestone graphics all over it. When I got it was completely out fitted with top of the line Dura-Ace components throughout, and set up as a time trial bike. I will try to get some pictures, but it has a red head tube and lugs, with a black top tube, with the balance of the bike being silver grey including the fork, and having a chrome right chainstay and the lug piercings and carving accented in red to match the head tube.
