edit: So while i believe this bike to be all original, that is only a good assumption.
What i like about it: the mix of parts (French, Italian,Japanese) from a Mexican manufacturer; And chrome socks and head tube lugs. And it rides ALMOST like a townie, even in the drops, 700c wheels might make it more sporty/racy.
