- seat stay tops I've never seen before
- head tube lugs look paper-thin - are they lugs at all?
- tacked-on cable guides - mostly seen on French and Belgian bikes
I think we should call Detective Chief Inspector @
juvela ...
The two things that grabbed my attention were the head tube lugs and the seat stay tops, I may have looked one million bike pictures on the Internet trying to find seat stays like that ... without any success...
