Yes there is a 7 gear sun tour gear in the rear as I said on the post below. Yes you are correct there are holes in the frame for a water bottle. It is in the pic of the bike before I started taking it apart to clean it up some. Yes the 60 is most certainly is a Masi measurement. It's stamped on the bottom bracket. MC60. I'm not building it. I have had the bike for 17 years. I rode it for 7 before I put it up. I jhave extremely long arms and a long torso. I haven't ever killed a bear with a stick though. Lol
