I call this one The Black Devil.

Easily the nicest original Black Lightning frame I've ever worked with (an early one, too- born January 2, 1987!), requiring only a buff, polish and wax job with a few teeny touchups. Campy headset, Rolls Due saddle, carbon post, new Shimano 5800 groupset (compact 50/34 with an 11/32 cassette, talk about wide range), with new Shimano RS21 lightweight wheels, new Vittoria Rubino Pro tires, 3TTT stem and nice traditional drop bars. Around 20 pounds & with the steel Tange fork a bike you can ride all day.

Given the gearing, hills should not be an issue.
