Of course I'm not the seller, no relation, etc.; just happened to notice this extra-tall number floating by with no bids. It's in a (Legnano-ish ) metallic green (original paint, with chromed lugs), has some aftermark et Shimano 600 parts applied--crankset and rear derailleur. Looks like t he nicer model frameset with Campagnolo ends, and the bike retains its U niversal mod. 61 centrepulls.

Way too much altitude for me!! But I do own one of these in 58cm and a d ifferent color. It's a very reliable ride for me, and really pretty ligh t. I hope to find a 40-tooth ring for the alloy Nervar crankset, eventua lly. Item # 7218419584 . Check it out, tall friends--or Shimano 600 seekers. The listing claims a birthdate of 1964 for this bike.

About seven or eight hours left as I write.
