It needs a couple of upgrades over time. Longer stem. RD for sure. Tubulars.
It was on local CL twice. Before Xmas i replied late, got no answer. This year, I replied 2nd, but with a little persuasion won the deal, and with HUGE assist from [MENTION=426397]since6[/MENTION] who delivered the bike to my house today (while the power was out after storm).
This one is a case where the seller's measurements were close-but-no-cigar, but IN MY FAVOR, geometrically speaking. 60(ctc)X59, with 18 headtube. Had been listed as 62X60.
Based on a couple of around the block trips, this 'custom' with 531 butted main tubes, has heavier stays (both chain and seat) for a larger rider, and the fork is nice&light but is unlabeled, tho clearly original.
Half step and granny Stronglight crank, narrow bars (38), and the Galli bits.
Never pedaled a half steppin with your granny
