Is this an Altron? Altron 7000, Altron NFS or something entirely different?
I'm clueless but excited, the bike looks fast and solid. I almost new condition.
Offhand, I don't remember an Altron with chromed stays. However, it shouldn't be an Altron 7000 because they were aluminum. The NFS bicycles used smaller, 650C wheels, which you probably would have noticed. There was a Altron, circa 1990 with a Tange Prestige frame and Shimano Ultegra components. Then again, it could be a non-USA model or a variant we haven't seen. We'll be anxiouslky awaiting the pics. BTW, welcome to the forums.
