What to make of this frame/bike? Skimmed over it upon first reading, but
reading the description reveals that the bike is an "Artic" rather than a
normal
Stella.

Seems like a decent quality frame - Campy dropouts and some chrome. Can't
really make out much of the contrasting headtube lugs. No frame decal, but
downtube sticker appears to read "Custom Built by Stella" Did someone
comission
Stella to produce this frame? Would this have been an upper or med level
bike?
French bikes with Campy don't seem that common - did someone other than Stella
specify the components? Anyone know more about the Stella/Arctic connection?

Looks better than any Stella I have ever seen. I can't tell, but it even
looks like it has Nervex lugs. Its just my opinion, but I think the seller started
out with a bit higher bid than useful in order to attract more starting bids.
