LOL. Yes it is. Sorry I couldn’t help myself.


FWIW, the 105 drivetrain on this bike isn't stock. It came with 600, according to what I can glean from various unofficial sources on the web. The work done to assemble this bike was pro quality - two clues: all threads greased, and not overtorqued. The BB feels brand new. The BB spindle taper looks identical between the SX and this bike. Conclusion: BB has already been swapped. The dealer sticker on the downtube is "Kenwood Cyclery", who were very well regarded as a top-notch shop back in the `80s-`90s. I'm betting they did this work.

But I definitely got your message, my queen. Please excuse my impertinence? *
Which bike came with 600? Celeste looks to be an ‘88 Sport SX that came wif Exage Sport. The Squadra had a nice mix of Italian goodies like that Ofmega crank [ I got the wrong line looking at the catalog earlier]those Universal ‘Squadra’ brakes (but with hideous levers) Ofmega derailleurs…….
