How appropriate that I should find an abandoned lightweight during the TDF!
Maybe some sharp list member can identify this relic!

Yes, it found service here as a typical "bubba bike" (pardon the
phrase)-flipped bars, wheels were tacoed. I found the poor thing behind a
rough apt complex (as a city employee, I get paid to cruise the alleys...)
Notable features:
Nervex Pro throughout
very light metric tubing
seatstay caps are proud of the stay tubes-but flat
campy 1010 ends that seem incongruous on a French(?) frame- stamped "60" and
"4188" on LH side.
TA 3 pin cranks, berthet pedals, stronglight comp headset.
3t bar/stem, Huret brazeon shifters, otherwise no other brazeons.
Record components make up the rest-presumably added later as the front
derailer clamp slips.
I removed the stuck 26.4 alloy post with judicious use of a 3-foot punch and
mallet. Loaner wheels pictured. Still, it's in better shape than the PX-10
I found last year.
