What is this frame?
I picked this up on craigslist for a song. It is beat up really badly, but should be ride worthy. I know nothing about its history but it seemed sketchy. The cheap white rattle can paint is obviously not original. Judging from the fork the frame was most likely a yellow color. It has a vintage Shimano 600 headset that I'm guessing was original to the bike, but who knows. Shimano Dura-Ace 7402 crankset, 600 EX brakes and levers, 600 front and rear EX (RD 6207) derailleurs and downtube shifters, Campy hubs. The parts seemed all over the place so who knows if anything was original. It has Campy forkends/dropouts on the bent and destroyed forks as well as the frame (luckily only pelted with dents and not completely useless). I've photographed some of the seemingly more distinguishing characteristics to help, but I'm totally baffled. I thought the fork crown was sort of unique, but maybe not. The bottom bracket English threads, 68mm. 126mm rear dropouts. Guessing it is Japanese. Frame weighed about 4.6 lbs (with seat post binder bolt) and is 60cm center to center. Serial numbers under BB shell 14101 and 21588. Eager to hear what members have to say. Thanks for looking.
