Owner claimed it was a CroMo frame..... Jacques Anquetil. Said I might have an issue with the French threading.
Edit: Not so much....its an Sugino Italian BB assembly.

I might have an issue with the bottom bracket that was installed backwards! Adjustable cup on the drive side.

Mixed bag with Campy NR rear & Record front, maybe GS levers? Modern 700c LF Cyclone front wheel and Tipo HF rear w/ 27" rim. Nothing about the frame says CRoMo to me.... more like gas pipe. Stamped drop-outs, clunky lug work and a weld seam on the BB Shell. But I didn't buy it for the frame. I'll know more when I take it apart.

If you know anything about Jacques Anquetil branded frames, I'd be interested in hearing from you. TIA
