Here is a reply to a request for more info on this bike. Crank is a 3 armed Campy with the shield logo on the arm. Not sure of the model.

Fred,

The frame is 58 cm.

shifters are Shimano index, I think Shimano 600s from the 90s.

bar and stem,, Cinelli 64 with a long stem

pedals are inexpensive platform pedals

Cinelli saddle

alloy seatpost

Campy headset

the main thing is the frame. It rides beautifully. I rode it from Malibu to San Diego but it's a bit small for me. I'm 6'3". I used to own a bike shop on the East Coast and would sell these frames for Proteus. Proteus would build them in College Park, Md.

I have it priced very reasonably.

check out attached files

thanks
