All these things point to some front end crash, fixed with cruddy replacements. Who knows what else has been swapped. The pics are pretty dark and blurry. I can no longer recommend buying this.

This is also a larger frame than your A-1. Maybe stick with what you have for now.

Thanks for checking out the photos. I've had some concerns from the start about the CL listing as the bike didn't look 100% correct for the year. Glad to dodge a $100 problem. I appreciate the help!
Now...back to the drawing board.
