This is probably an early nineties? Carbon fiber tubes and aluminum lugs, red decals. Shimano 105 7 speed, that pearl white with dual pivot brakes. Frame is in decent shape, as are the components, aside from one small problem. Every single chrome part on the components, brake cable binders, shaft mounts, clamp bolt on the FD.....Solid rust, no chrome left on any hardware. The frame has a few scrapes and chips, but none go past he clearcoat that I can see. I think it's save worthy. but unfortunately the components will need to be replaced. Replacing the hardware only, I might as well install the identical group I already have. Yes, it has the grey BB, and I have found this is a good thing apparently. Saddle is a KHS junker. original vinyl wrap, etc. 600 hubs though, which I thought was strange. This guy is a friend of mine and got it from his neighbor(Belonged to the neighbors son who is deceased) He is asking 5-6 hundred dollars, and I think that's at least double what it's worth judgng by condition alone. I have no doubt it was an expensive bike when new. but that was 15-20 years and no rusted hardware ago. I think it's worth about half or less of what he wants. How far off am I?,,,,BD
