Picked this one up last year while I was away. It's a bike that I was somewhat searching for a long time now, and, most importantly, I didn't pay too much.
Seller was in a far-away town, but by the time later in the week that I called, his son had relocated the bike close to my area, so I only negotiated the bike down to the tune of 10 or $20 less than the $200 he was asking.
Phillips bb spindle predictably says 2/73 on it, as it does also utilize the Capella lug set.

It pretty much rides like a dream after I upgraded the freewheel to a 13-28t 6s Uniglide. And, beyond luckily, this one even came with a 4-1/2" stem, which would be somewhat of a rarity in this frame size.
