That sounds like the 1991 model which was full Ultegra except for 105 pedals. Sounds like even the wheels are replacements, as WolberTX are orignal rims. The fame was designed by Richard Cunningham and uses unspecfied tubing. The most unique feature is the 26"/650c wheelset, which gave great aceralation. The Alpha rerally jumps when you stand on the pedals. Orignal price $949 US.

Personally, I'd be keeping this multi-geared. If I recall correctly, there is no dropout adjustment, so you'd need an eccentric hub, bottom bracket or chain tensioner for the conversion.
