Off topic bike of course - but as off topic bikes go this is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. The Ole parts are a Modolo thing. They made so many different colors and slight variations of their own brake parts that I guess Suntour let them have at it for their own late 80's top of the line stuff. The shifters are standard indexed Accushift. The rear derailleur is an obvious Suntour Superbe Pro from that time and the brakes are obviously standard pretty Modolo from that same period. The seatpost might actually be a Suntour Superbe but that would make it a very rare part indeed. I don't think I've seen more than one of them in all my Suntour voyeurism. It was the part that was most often left out of any top of the line Suntour gruppo. In fact on this bike it looks like a standard SR post. I'd love to have it so if you do get it, send me the low down on it off list because that is where this discussion belongs. PS - ditch the oversize freewheel. I doubt the derailleur can handle a 28 cog anyway.
