A few notes to the list about this frame, of which I own one of similar vin tage and model.
First, it's the best riding frame I own, stable at all speeds I've had it a t, feels faster than my Columbus SL Serotta frame. Anyone with a long leg compared to their torso like me will really enjoy the geometry of the frame as well. If the next owner of this frame considers restoring and repainti ng, I have seen decal sets on ebay in the past, additionally I can put you in contact with the individual who did the artwork for my spare set of Gaze lle decals. He no longer does the printing, but does have all the vector a rt needed to produce a set for this era AB-frame.
