Thanks all for the kind words.
Cool score!!
The story, seems a little off...
Women cycling events in the Olympics didn't happen until 1984, waaayy too late for this bike/components. Would be interesting to get a little more info from the seller!
Oh well, I guess the seller misremembered the details about the Olympics. He said he has a letter from Ron Kitchery filed away somewhere that authenticates the bike and provides some more build info, and said he would try to find for me. Would love to see what that letter says.
