What kind of sticker is this? Im just asking because of the restauration.
The brake bridge is exactly the same like yours. Almost everything looks identical except for the top tube. Maybe someone removed the cable stops? But It's looks almost too clean underneath the paint for the removal theory.
Fitting to the cleaness of the frame itself it has no mounting for shifters or the front derrailleur, only the weird little ones on the steering tube.
Only some more posts and i can show you pictures which makes everything easier (especially for my bad english
)
It is this decal:
Columbus tubing decal (1978 to 1984)
Great that the brake bridge is the same as mine! It makes a pair and means mine is not a "fluke".
Do no worry about your English! I am Swedish and I do not know from where CyclesMakaron is but he is not English speaking either... Keep on posting - so we can get to see your pictures.
edit - and PS the lack of shifter bosses on the frame is because bar end shifters were the norm in cyclocross at this time. I guess a braze on for the front derailleur was not popular either because of all the different size rings they used on the crank. And sometimes even a sort of rotating protective ring on both sides of a single ring. Also note that there is no braze ons for a bottle holder. The races were short and there were no need to have a bottle on the bike.
