Hey Gang,

This listing sure wouldn't entice me to bid very far. I guess it is what it says it is, and I have one from within two years of the date stated in this auction sitting ten feet away. It looks to me that the right cable guide about the BB is far enough forward in position to be the "A"'s design. The chainstay guide is also of the type Albert used. The lugs are not the same as mine and I cannot comment on the dropout pic. The underside of the fork crown is correct.
