That's a good idea to contact Co-Motion, thanks.

A question: Does the fact that it doesn't have fittings for shifter cable adjustment barrels on the downtube mean that it was made for friction shifting?

Also, those aren't Campagnolo cranks; Unless I'm wrong they're Sakaes, or something like that, with the names rubbed off. Any idea why someone would do that? Not to sell the bike to me.

Thanks again!


Hard to say on the dust caps, its a win imo, they are desirable so...

And the crank is no slouch anyway, run with it for now at least.

You have a blank canvas, this may have been finger tip when it was built and not a bad way to go now.

There is no wrong answer here, as discussed, many of these were custom build at the start, if not they may be able to tell you what it had but it really doesn't matter now.

These are very nice, I would modernize it and ride the heck out of it and bet on it being a fantastic bike.
