Here's a tough one...
I just got this guy, 61cm, without wheels, so working at a bike shop as a builder I picked the housebrand, and should have gone with a 7 speed cassette since the shifters (sport lx around, except for bb and cranks which are campy veloce) can switch from index to friction, and just doing friction since I grabbed an 8 is a bit annoying since I have never had dt nor friction nor a road bike before..
Today I stuck it on the stand and flipped it over, had to remove the cable guide to see the serial numbers, being where it was, I replaced the cable guide with a purple one, there are a few bad nicks throughout, so I would appreciate any help on finding the right paint, including the 'white', as I notice it is slightly cream
The serial number is: "3A 045" ..I do believe there is a space between the A and the Zero.
What do you make out of it? The smoke paint was only in 1988? or was it 88 and 89? or was marble in 89?
