Thanks. The frame is circa 1980 (That's what I was told by the seller) and came with a Nuovo record headset installed. Let me know if you find out anything and welcome to the list. I'm very new to the list myself!

I acquired an old frame set from a fellow in Queensland about 5 years ago. The frame builder is Jan Cristoff. The frame is quite nice but I have been unable to obtain any further info on the bike. Have you ever heard of this builder? I was told he may have built frames for the Aussie olympic squad at some point.
