This was the 80/90s version, Shimano 600 EX derailleurs, Might Comp crank, Zeus/Rigida wheelset
(definitely the 90s saddle - was on suede Unicanitor when I was younger)


And here's the International after I moved everything over. I had to buy 3 parts to finish the International, and I sold my rear rack and panniers to pay for half of the International frame (already had the shorty fenders stashed). (Kept all my good Honjo hardware and may buy new fender blanks down the way)
The GP was just as fast as this bike, but this bike is quicker...
