Jordan,

It's amazing that you post pics of this bike. I just joined the site last week in hopes of finding out about this bike. I bought one in 1974 (paid $325.00 in Chicago). The original components were exactly what you have with the exception that my bike has Universal Super 68 side pulls. I can't see it in you pics but my bike came with Campy Drop Outs and a Campy seat post. I have since upgrades to Record Low Flange Hubs, Record Pedals and Record Cranks (all of wich was done by 1976). My bike is blue (yes I still have it). When I got the bike I hated the decals on it and took them all off. Is there any way you could e-mail me the specs on the tubing, all of my decals were taken off. I remember the store I bought the bike from told me it was Columbus tubing (but I really don't think that is the case). I plan to take some pics of mine this week, I'll send them to you. If you have any questions please get back with me.

Mark
