Kenneth Willow asked about this 83 recently: http://chicago.craigslist.org/bik/114221625.html I am used to seeing pics of the Molteni orange model with the big blue panel decal on the downtube center but not this.

1.Is this a lower model? Is the frame the same?

2. If you switch the tubular rims and tires for clinchers will standover height be slightly increased or decreased? (I've wondered about this one for quite some time)
